Egis has been contracted by the European Investment Bank (EIB) to provide technical assistance support to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development of the Republic of Moldova in the preparation of the National Transport Investment Programme and Action Plan, a key first step towards implementing the country’s Mobility Strategy 2030.
Delivered under the EU-funded Facility for Eastern Partnership Investment in Connectivity (EPIC) with a specific funding contribution from the European Investment Bank (EIB) under its EU4U Advisory Programme, this technical assistance aims to lay the foundations for a more efficient, integrated and sustainable transport system, aligned with Moldova’s European ambitions.
The assignment covers Phase 1 of the Moldova Transport Investment Programme and Action Plan, focused on collecting and systematising all data required for subsequent model development and investment planning. This will be done by undertaking large-scale multimodal surveys across the country and via extensive stakeholder engagement.
The challenge.
Structuring a comprehensive vision in a transforming sector
Moldova is currently undergoing a gradual integration into European transport networks. This transition brings several major challenges:
- Aging infrastructure
- Historically limited investment levels
- Low integration between transport modes
- Fragmented sectoral data
In this context, developing a coherent and structured investment programme requires a reliable, consistent and usable data foundation to guide future strategic and operational decisions.
Imagine.
Turning fragmented data into a decision-making asset
Beyond the initial sector assessment, the core challenge is to establish a reliable and shared knowledge base to support transport public policies.
In an environment marked by fragmented and heterogeneous data, Egis aims to develop a unified reference framework capable of supporting investment decisions and enabling stronger alignment between national strategies and European connectivity goals.
Create.
Building the foundations of a structured investment programme
During this first phase, Egis transforms diverse and fragmented information into a coherent, model‑ready data framework to support infrastructure planning and future multimodal modelling.
The teams are mobilising their expertise to :
- Consolidate and harmonise existing data
- Design and implement multimodal survey frameworks
- Ensure data reliability to feed future modelling activities
- Structure information related to existing investment projects
This integrated approach establishes a robust analytical foundation for a coherent, prioritised investment programme aligned with both national and European priorities.
Achieve.
Accelerating the implementation of the mobility strategy
By structuring data and clarifying priorities, this first phase acts as a key lever to move from strategy to implementation.
It will enable the Moldovan authorities to base decisions on robust tools to guide investment decisions effectively, improve network performance and strengthen the overall consistency of the national transport system.
In doing so, the project supports the delivery of the Mobility Strategy 2030 and positions Moldova’s transport sector on a more efficient, resilient and EU‑aligned development path.
