Reporter on Guard

Special coverage by the ‘Reporter on Guard’ program, along with radio theme shows broadcast by Moldova 1 – Public Radio Moldova, are part of a national campaign for the popularisation of knowledge about water quality.

The use of poor quality drinking water causes between 850 and 950 premature deaths and the loss of 2 to 4 million days of work annually. Only a third of the rural population has access to water supply services, and gaps often exist in the quality of such services.

The campaign is run by  Regional Development Agency South  in partnership with the Ministry of Regional Development and Construction and the Ministry of Environment. This communication initiative is financially supported by the Romanian Government and through the ‘Modernization of Local Public Services in Moldova’ project, implemented by the German Development Cooperation through GIZ.

Cahul Rayon has been at the forefront of the campaign in recent years, benefitting from infrastructure projects supported by the National Regional Development Fund as well as GIZ. At the same time, it has updated the Water and Sanitation section of its Rayon Strategy for Socio-economic Development.
