What is this about 

“Where’s the money?” – it’s a question we often hear when talking about the support the European Union (EU) provides to the Republic of Moldova.

This time, we’re looking for the answer on the ground – across the country’s districts, towns and villages, in local businesses and initiatives and, most importantly, in the stories of people who can show what has changed in their communities thanks to this support. Ten districts. Three heroes. One journey to uncover EU investments.
