The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Republic of Moldova and the European Centre organised an online Peer review on “The design of the social assistance benefit in Moldova: Improving targeting and supporting employment”, on 6-7 September 2022. Representatives from ministries & public authorities from Armenia, Austria, Moldova, Kosovo, Georgia and Ukraine discussed Moldova’s approach towards minimum income guarantee and its attempts to improve social assistance targeting for the most vulnerable groups of society (e.g. families with children, persons outside the labour market, pensioners). The aim was to share practical information about the ongoing reform of the Moldovan system on social assistance benefits and its link to labour market activation measures (benefit levels, integrated approaches etc.).
