Agriculture and Rural Development
Agriculture remains one of the pillars of the economy of the Republic of Moldova, and rural development is a strategic priority for both national authorities and international development partners.
Rural communities, farmers, agricultural cooperatives, local public authorities and NGOs active in rural areas have access to a diverse range of financing instruments aimed at modernizing the agricultural sector, diversifying the rural economy, improving infrastructure and increasing the quality of life in rural areas.
In the context of rapprochement with the European Union, financing opportunities in this area are continuously expanding.
Disclaimer: Information on funding opportunities is updated periodically. We recommend that you check the indicated sources directly to confirm the availability and deadlines of active calls.
