The US Moldova Initiative connects Americans and Moldovans through exchange, civic engagement, and the belief that real relationships change the world.
To strengthen the democratic, cultural, and civic ties between the United States and the Republic of Moldova through dialogue, exchange, and collaborative action — empowering individuals on both sides to become informed, engaged participants in a shared transatlantic story.
Moldova stands at a historic inflection point. As a formal EU membership candidate, its society is engaged in a profound national conversation about identity, values, governance, and the kind of future it wants to build.
That conversation is happening against a backdrop of geopolitical pressure, economic challenge, and disinformation campaigns designed to sow division and undermine trust in democratic institutions. This is precisely when transatlantic solidarity matters most.
Moldova is actively building democratic institutions and needs experienced civil society partners to learn from and collaborate with.
Moldova's emerging economy and entrepreneurial spirit create natural opportunities for American expertise, investment, and innovation. The American success story — built on democratic institutions, free markets, and civic trust — is precisely what Moldova is working to build.
Moldova’s path to the EU aligns directly with core American interests in a stable, democratic, and prosperous Europe.
