PHOTO Restart Reform: Territorial Social Assistance Agencies of Moldova receive six vehicles to consolidate services provided to citizens

Chisinau, 4 October /MOLDPRES/ - The Territorial Social Assistance Agencies have received six vehicles, in order to enhance the mobility of the employees from the territorial structures and the citizens’ accessibility to social services. The event on the delivery of the cars took place today.   

The vehicles, worth 2.160 million lei, will be used to consolidate the capacity to provide more social services at the Territorial Social Assistance Structures from Basarabeasca, Causeni, Cimislia, Falesti, Nisporeni and Soroca.  

At the event, Labour and Social Protection Minister Alexei Buzu said that the institution was making effort to bring the most essential services to all Moldova’s districts.   

„In the social assistance system, we have a big variety of social services, which were yet implemented and managed non-uniformly on the country’s territory. This occurred because of the lack of the infrastructure needed and human resources. The ministry has been working since the beginning of this year, in order to bring the most essential services to all Moldova’s districts. In September, we managed to establish the Mobile Team service all over the country and we continue to invest, in order to consolidate also other services on all territory,’’ Alexei Buzu said.

Among the essential social services for beneficiaries and which need an enhanced mobility of employees from the social structures, there are the social services, Social Care at Home and the Mobile Team social service.   

According to the authorities, with the help of the vehicles, the employees in the social assistance sector will be able to provide their services to more services in the territory, especially in the far-away and hardly accessible settlements and communities; in this way, the quality of life will improve for the most vulnerable social sections.   

The Restart Reform is set to improve the governance and transparency in the social assistance system and to ensure the uniform and fair access of the vulnerable residents to qualitative social services. The social assistance must be made uniform on all territory of Moldova, so that there are qualitative and enough services in all districts and for all categories of beneficiaries among the vulnerable residents, especially for children, elderly people and persons with disabilities.
