ActEU for Moldova – Activating Communities for EU Integration (2026–2028) is a project implemented by People in Need (PIN), in partnership with the National Rural Development Network LEADER (NRDLN) and EcoVisio. The project aims to strengthen civil society organisations (CSOs) and Local Action Groups (LAGs) to become more effective, sustainable, and environmentally responsible actors in supporting local development and Moldova’s EU integration process. Through organisational capacity assessments, greening audits, tailored trainings, mentorship, and Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP), the project will support CSOs and LAGs in improving their internal systems, implementing sustainable initiatives, and actively engaging in community mobilisation and dialogue with public authorities.

The main objective of the project is to strengthen civil society organisations and Local Action Groups in Moldova by enhancing their organisational capacities, sustainability, and participation in local development and the EU integration process.
