Diaspora Succeeds at Home DAR 1+3 program to be extended for next five years

5 March 2025, Chișinău - Diaspora Succeeds at Home DAR 1+3 program will be extended until 2030, and the transparency in the use of financial resources under the program will increase. Government approved a decision to this effect.

The amendments involve increasing the minimum total amount of a project from 300 to 400 thousand lei and increasing the government's contribution from 250 to 350 thousand lei. Diaspora citizens will be able to work with local authorities to implement projects in infrastructure, environmental protection, economy, energy efficiency, culture, education and social protection.

The procedure for accessing projects will be simplified, and the application can be submitted electronically. 

DAR 1+3 is an initiative that encourages the diaspora to invest in the economic and social development of the Republic of Moldova. Project funding follows 1+3 formula: the diaspora, the Government of the Republic of Moldova, local public authorities and development partners. Since 2020, over 194 local development projects have been carried out through the program. 

Today, the government approved amendments on the organization of Diaspora Days. Thus, the period for Diaspora Days will be flexible and not fixed, as it has been until now, and the role of organizer will be assigned to the Diaspora Relations Bureau of the State Chancellery. 

The DOR Program for children from Moldova's diaspora will become part of Diaspora Days activities.
