Promoting the usa of ESI Funds for Roma inclusion

Specifically, the information gathering process aimed to

identify the Operational

Programmes which could be relevant for Roma inclusion both at national and regional

level,

focusing mainly on those funded by the

ESF and to a certain extent by the ERDF.

This report presents the following

specific information

for each of the identified OPs:

The

scope of action

(national or regional).

The

type of fund(s)

and, in the case of several funds, whether the use of the different

funds is planned for the actions targeting Roma inclusion and whether they will be

used separately or in complementarity.

The

approaches

foreseen for the relevant actions for Roma inclusion, notably:

›

Explicit approach:

dedicated lines focusing specifically onRoma/Roma communities.

›

Explicit but not exclusive approach:

general lines of intervention focusing explicitly

on Roma/Roma communities but as part of a larger group (e.g. disadvantaged

group) or geographical area (e.g. disadvantaged area).

›

No explicit mention:

Roma/Roma communities not explicitly mentioned but

considered as part of a larger group/geographical area.

›

Territorial approach:

covering the needs of specific geographical areas, sometimes

micro-territories.

The

thematic objectives and investment priorities

under which the actions related to

Roma inclusion are planned. While particular attention is paid to the specific ESF

Investment Priority 9.2., the other TOs and IPs that could be of relevance for Roma

inclusion (both within ESF and ERDF) are also considered.

The main

fields of intervention.

The

implementation of the partnership principle,

notably the level of involvement of

Roma individuals, Roma NGOs and organisations working to promote Roma inclusion

in the OPs drafting process and their expected involvement in the implementation,

monitoring and evaluation.
