The Project has also supplied hundreds of new laptops to Ministry employees, enabling them to access the Ministry of Finance’s information systems remotely when needed. Additionally, during the meeting, Ministry representatives emphasised that EU4PFM support has contributed to equipping workspaces for employees.

Key equipment deliveries include:

• Uninterruptible power supply

Additionally, work is underway to equip the Ministry with WiFi and video conferencing technology to enhance Ministry’s communication and cooperation with external stakeholders.

Through these efforts, EU4PFM continues to strengthen the Ministry’s resilience, ensuring it can operate efficiently under any circumstances and deliver financial services without disruption.
