Programme for municipalities. European integration through local development: increasing local public authorities' access to funding opportunities for infrastructure projects

Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

The Independent Think Tank Expert-Grup, with support from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Moldova, invites municipalities across the country to join a programme that helps local authorities access funding for infrastructure projects. The programme runs from January 2026 to June 2027, and applications are due by 20 December 2025.

Twenty-five municipalities will be selected, five each from the North, South, Centre, UTA Gagauzia and the Security Zone. They will receive practical training on issuing municipal bonds and obtaining preferential European financing, individual mentoring, and training on financial management, good governance and public procurement. Afterwards, five municipalities will receive hands-on support in issuing municipal bonds and another ten will be supported in applying for European funding for local infrastructure.

Interested municipalities should send a free-form application to info@expert-grup.org describing their motivation, a preliminary description of proposed projects and their training and financing needs, by 17:00 on 20 December 2025. Further information is available from Adrian Lupusor, Executive Director of Expert-Grup.
