Homecare Centres were supported to increase their capacity and ensure their financial sustainability.
People in Need Moldova strongly believes that capacity development and professional growth are essential to provide the most efficient services to our beneficiaries. For this reason, a Resource Centre for Homecare Centres was developed and capacitated in 2023. The pool of experts was created and 5 training modules were successfully developed on the procedure of writing a project, creation and registration of a public organisation, accreditation of the organisation for the provision of medical services, accreditation of the organisation for the provision of social services and security. 27 representatives from 5 Homecare Centres participated in the capacity building programme.  
In addition, professional equipment plays a crucial role in Homecare Centres as it has a direct impact on the quality of care provided to individuals. High quality equipment helps to improve the overall quality of services.  People in Need made it possible for 5 Homecare Centres to receive the necessary equipment: 11 laptops, 6 printers / copiers / scanners, a TV screen, a hard drive, headphones and 10 office chairs were purchased and distributed. This leads to increased efficiency in the workplace and ensures a high quality of service to beneficiaries.
