Expert-Grup presented the results of two years of assistance for labour market reform in the Republic of Moldova

The project assisted the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, the National Employment Agency and the State Labour Inspectorate. Its main outputs include the National Employment Programme for 2027–2030, which proposes raising the employment rate from 55% in 2025 (against 76.1% in the EU) to 60.9% by 2030, or about 79 thousand more people in work.

Its analysis supported a fivefold increase in vocational training funding for the unemployed in 2026: 1,751 people enrolled with vouchers in the first eight months, against 700 in all of 2025. The project also helped prepare the transposition of three EU directives on worker information, consultation and involvement, and produced documents on labour inspectorate governance, psychological counselling and social dialogue. Priorities now are adopting and implementing the programme, modernising the Agency's services, strengthening the Inspectorate and developing social dialogue.
