Action on finance under the EU4Environment Water & Data programme is focussed on the implementation of RBMP Programs of Measures (PoMs), including Nature-based Solutions (NbS). This includes developing recommendations on domestic finance mobilisation through instruments such as water tariffs and taxes, assessing national enabling environments for water finance, and identifying innovative and cost-effective approaches.

Held back-to-back with Moldova’s annual National Policy Dialogue on Water, this workshop will discuss the ongoing work on the OECD Assessment of the Enabling Environment for Water Finance in Moldova and work on water tax reforms. While each piece of work is distinct, and the discussions will be driven by the specific findings and recommendations, the workshop will embody the holistic approach taken by the EU4Environment Water & Data Programme, as well as the complexity of financing water security from both domestic and international sources of finance.
