The ‘PARE 1 + 1’ programme aims to mobilise the human and financial resources of our fellow migrant citizens in the sustainable economic development of the Republic of Moldova by stimulating the creation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises. The programme operates under the ‘1 + 1’ rule, so that each leu invested from remittances is replaced by a leu in the form of a grant.
