Moldova Future Technologies Activity (FTA) and Moldova Rural Competitiveness and Resilience Activity (RCRA) are USAID programs implemented by Chemonics International in Moldova. The goal of` the Future Technologies Activity is to enhance the competitiveness of Moldovan transformative sectors, including light manufacturing, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), precision engineering, creative industries, and digital media production, and to improve the country’s integration with Western markets in these sectors.

The goal of the Rural Competitiveness and Resilience Activity is to stimulate a sustainable and inclusive recovery from the regional crisis brought on by the latest Russian invasion of Ukraine and accelerate an inclusive, climate-resilient economic development of rural Moldova by protecting the development gains made with USAID support over the past decade and further stimulate the competitiveness of key economic sectors, including the wine industry, high-value agriculture, and tourism.

As part of project activities, FTA and RCRA projects require the provision of Private Health Insurance services to their local staff on the territory of the Republic of Moldova. The purpose of this RFQ is to solicit quotations for these services.
