The concept of PARE 1+1 is based on good practices of the countries where there is a high rate of emigration flows and was elaborated and adjusted to the Moldovan context by a Moldovan delegation during a previous EU financed project, implemented by IOM. The International Organization for Migration through the ENPI EU financed project “Supporting the implementation of migration and development component of the Mobility Partnership UE-Moldova,” will support OSME in the information campaign of PARE 1+1, as well as in providing grants to several migrants who will demonstrate feasibility of their businesses for the development of the local community.
