UNDP -PRIM Sheep and goat Cluster from Cimislia-Basarabeasca

The Cimișlia-Basarabeasca OviCaprin Cluster (Sheep and goat cluster) specializes primarily in the production and processing of sheep and goat milk, as well as derivative products such as meat, hides, and wool. The cluster was formalized on October 10, 2023, when key regional stakeholders signed the Memorandum of Agreement to establish the cluster, elected the governing bodies, and approved the Development Roadmap for the 2023-2025 period. The goal of the Memorandum is to create and strengthen a regional partnership aimed at stimulating innovation, competitiveness, and the livestock potential of the Cimișlia and Basarabeasca districts.

The cluster is coordinated by the cluster management entity – the NGO ‘Development through Involvement.’ The establishment of the cluster was supported by the 'Resilient and Inclusive Markets' project, implemented by UNDP Moldova and funded by the Government of Switzerland.
