Poland supports Moldovan population
28.08.2025
Poland allocated USD 1 million to Moldova's Energy Vulnerability Reduction Fund in a show of solidarity with and direct support for Moldovan people, who are facing the consequences of an energy crisis.
In 2022, the Moldovan government, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), established the Energy Vulnerability Reduction Fund (EVRF) to tackle the energy crisis. The Fund was designed to minimise the negative impact that rising prices of central heating, natural gas, and electricity had on Moldovan families. Since its inception, the EVRF has supported more than 895,000 Moldovan households (75% of the country’s total) by providing compensation which significantly mitigates the financial burden of rising energy prices.
The Polish contribution to the EVRF does not only respond to pressing social needs, but also increases the energy stability of the Republic of Moldova and builds up the Moldovan society’s resilience to future crises.
The Polish Aid programme implemented by the MFA supports the Moldovan administration in reforming the country ahead of its prospective EU membership, building strong institutions, advancing national and local crisis management systems, and developing urban policy.
