The developments in the civil society of the two states still encounter some differences. In RO, the implication of her representatives in promoting new standards, community development projects and, more and more, in advancing social politics, in advocacy, in watch dog actions is based upon the collaborations initiated with the representatives of the public institutions, with governmental agencies that try to support these changes. In this moment, the financial support comes from governmental directions and local public authorities, next to the structural funds that can be accessed by the Civil Society Organization’s (CSO’s) representatives. In the Republic of Moldova these actions of influence and collaboration with the authorities present different levels towards development.Referințe
