On May 29, 2018, at the MSIF headquarters took place the meeting of the Evaluation Committee for evaluation of applications submitted in the first stage of the Project. The committee was made up of representatives of the German Development Bank KfW, the German Embassy in Moldova and representatives of MSIF.
