The Republic of Moldova received the status of candidate country for membership of the European Union in June 2022 and started formal accession negotiations in June 2024, within the framework of which the country must implement a number of reforms, including in the agricultural sector. The project will help strengthen both institutional capacity and transparency in public sector spending.

Project objectives

The project will provide the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry (MAFI) with in-depth technical assistance to reform and modernize the way Moldova supports its farmers. By aligning policies, institutions, and tools with EU best practices, the project aims to increase transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in agricultural public spending.

Actions and results

Frequent expert missions from Estonia and the Netherlands guide Moldovan institutions through legislative harmonization, institutional benchmarking, and the development of modern tools for data integration and payment administration. These efforts are designed to create a more service-oriented public administration that better supports Moldovan farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs.
