E-Governance Academy and Moldcell Foundation Join Forces to Strengthen Online Safety Across Moldova
E-Governance Academy (eGA) and Moldcell Foundation have signed a contract to launch a nationwide Online Safety Training initiative in Moldova. This milestone follows a successful public procurement process, ensuring that at least 100 on-site training courses will be delivered across the country’s Northern, Central, and Southern regions by November 2025.
Through this collaboration, eGA and Moldcell Foundation are making online safety more accessible to Moldovan people in all regions. The initiative focuses on equipping people with practical digital skills to protect themselves online, ensuring that cybersecurity awareness becomes a fundamental part of daily life.
“This cooperation and initiative is more than just a training — it’s about giving Moldovan people the digital skills to stay safe online,” said Hannes Astok, Executive Director and Chairman of the Management Board at the e-Governance Academy. “By working with Moldcell Foundation, we are bringing cybersecurity awareness to communities across the country and making it a lasting part of Moldova’s digital future.”
A Strategic Partnership for Digital Resilience
“At Moldcell Foundation, we believe digital safety should be a fundamental right, not a privilege. This collaboration with eGA allows us to bring essential cybersecurity knowledge to all Moldovan people, ensuring that the skills learned today will protect our communities for years to come,” said Irina Strajescu, Executive Director of Moldcell Foundation.
The training sessions will provide practical skills, helping participants recognise and prevent online threats, safeguard their personal data, and make smarter choices in their digital interactions.
Each session will last at least two hours, with a focus on real-life examples and hands-on guidance. By targeting everyday smartphone users—who make up a large part of Moldova’s digital population—the project aims to make online safety second nature to everyone.
Ensuring Sustainability and Long-Term Engagement
This project is not only one-time training sessions, it’s about creating a lasting culture of online safety. To achieve this, eGA and Moldcell Foundation are also training local trainers and digital ambassadors who will continue educating their communities, developing accessible and engaging learning materials tailored to the needs of Moldovan users, and partnering with local organisations to ensure that cybersecurity education becomes a key part of broader digital literacy efforts.
The procurement and on-site trainings are part of the EU-funded Moldova Cybersecurity Rapid Response 2.0 project, further reinforcing Moldova’s commitment to strengthening its digital security at all levels.
