URBACT Programme: new support opportunities for cities, municipalities of Moldova

The State Chancellery, in its capacity as the URBACT National Point in Moldova, today organized an online information session dedicated to the URBACT Accelerator for Ukraine and Moldova call. The event brought together representatives of local public authorities interested in this new opportunity provided by the URBACT Programme, meant exclusively for cities and municipalities of Moldova and Ukraine.

Participants in the session presented the programme’s objectives, funding directions, eligibility conditions, application process and call timeline. They learned details about the programme’s three components:

The session highlighted the benefits of participating in the programme, including strengthening administrative capacity, access to the URBACT methodology, exchange of experience with European cities and preparation of local authorities for future European funding opportunities.
