ABSTRACT. – Accessing Financing Programmes in Moţilor Land. From an economic point of view, as a result of the restrictive climate and relief conditions but also due to the political conditions, Moţilor Land has never been a well developed region. Added to this, the restructuring of the mining sector after 1990 and subsequently the closing of the mine at Roşia Montană in 2006 have aggravated the economic problems that this region has been facing. The degree in which the local communities and the authorities are able to access various financing sources from the county level to the international one, has become essential to the survival of the localities in the region, many of which are facing depletion due to aging, feminisation and migration of the population. The present article aims at analysing the degree in which these financing programmes are accessed at the regional but also at the local level, in order to determine which are the more active communities and to establish if there is a certain trend present and to establish its causes.
Keywords: Moţilor Land, European funds, development, Roşia Montană.
