According to Yulia Iabanji, the institution is carrying out an extensive programme to promote the ‘PARE 1 + 1’ programme, including through diplomatic missions, diasporas, development partners, etc.

ODIMM analyses also show that more than 76 per cent of companies receiving grants are in the expansion phase and 23 % in the start-up phase. Of the total grant applications, 23 businesses are started in agriculture and targeted at different types of activity: growing of cereals and vines, growing of plants and animals, provision of mechanised services. A further 8 companies are active in the provision of services (transport and storage services, recreation and leisure services, health and social work) and 3 companies in the manufacturing sector (manufacture of textiles, food industry, processing and packaging of cereals).

After the location, the businesses are located in 17 districts of the Republic, 20 % of which operate in the municipality of Chisinau and 80 % in rural areas.

The ‘PARE 1 + 1’ programme aims to mobilise the human and financial resources of Moldovan migrant workers in the sustainable economic development of the Republic of Moldova by stimulating the creation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises by migrant workers and remittances beneficiaries. The programme works under the ‘1 + 1’ rule, so that each leu invested from remittances will be replaced by a leu in the form of a grant under the Programme. Grant beneficiaries may be migrant workers, citizens of the Republic of Moldova and beneficiaries of remittances, first-degree relatives.
