People in Need - Moldova

According to official statistics and GDP per capita, Moldova is ranked as the poorest country in Europe. The country, like others in the region, suffered a major economic setback after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Despite some economic growth in recent years, migration for employment and income opportunities is the norm.

PIN has been working in Moldova since 2003, and currently provides development support to the local population in three focus areas: agriculture and economy, social protection and inclusion, and civil society empowerment and engagement.
