As part of the Stronger Ys project, YMCA Moldova organized the “EU FUNDING LAB” activity, corresponding to budget line 2.3.2 \u2013 Training of other civil society actors. The session took place in the municipality of Ungheni, approximately 110 km from Chi\u0219in\u0103u, and was hosted by the Ungheni District Youth Center. <\/p>\n\n

The selection of the Ungheni district for this activity was strategically significant. The district comprises approximately 70 localities and is situated on the border between the Republic of Moldova and Romania\u2014and, by extension, the European Union. This location offers civil society organizations and local initiatives significant potential for developing partnerships and leveraging European and cross-border funding opportunities. At the same time, local NGOs\u2014particularly those in rural communities\u2014require enhanced capacity to identify funding opportunities and translate community needs into viable projects. <\/p>\n\n

Young leaders and representatives of civil society organizations from the district were invited to the event. With the support of local expert Tatiana Marian and a facilitator, YMCA Moldova conducted an intensive four-hour training module focused on the entire project cycle. Participants explored methods for identifying and researching community needs, formulating project ideas, developing objectives and activities, and identifying relevant funding opportunities, as well as the fundamentals of project implementation, monitoring, and reporting. <\/p>\n\n
