We invite you to get to know better the EU Members States and their Ambassadors and learn more about the objectives of Team Europe initiative which supports partner countries. Team Europe has mobilized resources to ensure a rapid and impactful support to the citizens of the Republic of Moldova. Over the last two years the EU and its Member States remained close to the citizens of the country. With support provided by Team Europe, the Republic of Moldova has the necessary tools to strengthen its resilience during this difficult period, as well as overcome long term consequences.”

The European Union and its Member States, as Team Europe, have provided support and assistance to the people from the Republic of Moldova during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as from a long-term perspective of economic recovery of the country.

Team Europe initiative was created as a result of challenging conditions in 2020 in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, as a united European response to the major needs arising in partner countries. ‘Team Europe’ combines the collective development resources of the EU and its Member States — including their implementing agencies. Resources from the EU Bank, namely the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) are also part of Team Europe support. The European Union and its Member States, as Team Europe, continue to stay close to the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, providing assistance to contribute to the improvement of the daily life of its citizens.
