In the 2014-2020 programming period,
Hungary
extends the experience of combination
of funds of the key Operational Programmes for Roma inclusion in the 2007-2013
programming period to all relevant national OPs:
Human Resources Development OP,
Territorial and Settlement Development OP
and
Economic Development and Innovation OP.
In
Italy
both the
Legality OP
and the
Metropolitan Cities OP
are co-financed by ESF and
ERDF. For example, the
Metropolitan Cities OP
combines actions targeting Roma, Sinti
and
Caminanti
funded by ESF (services for social inclusion, including access to housing,
individual and group support and accompaniment as regards labour or education or
citizenship regularisation) and by ERDF (actions related to accommodation and renovation
of space services).
Within the
Slovak
Human Resources OP
, actions targeting the most deprived marginalised
Roma communities will be implemented in a complementary manner under ESF Priority Axis
‘Socio-economic integration of marginalised Roma communities’ and ERDF Priority Axis
‘Technical facilities in municipalities with presence of marginalised Roma communities’.
Although the analysis of the funding sources focuses on the national OPs, it is worth
mentioning the case of the
Greek
regional OPs. In order to address the challenges faced
in the 2007-2013 programming period as regards the combination of funds between
the relevant OPs for Roma inclusion at regional and national level, in the 2014-2020
programming period all regional OPs foresee the combination of both ESF and ERDF.
While this option will give regional OPs an increased capacity and autonomy, a number of
challenges are already foreseen in the practical implementation of this option.

Complementing interventions from OPs (mostly single-fund) using the different
funds.
In this case, it also remains to be seen how it will be applied in practice
(e.g. through coordinated calls, multi-fund projects…).
In
Bulgaria
, the investments in social and healthcare infrastructure envisaged under the
ERDF
Regions in Growth OP
complement the activities related to the provision of social,
education and healthcare services under the ESF
Human Resources Development OP
and
the ESF
Science and Education for Smart Growth OP
. The combination between the
Regions
in
Growth OP
and the
Human Resources Development OP
will follow the approach of the
‘Integra’ pilot model implemented in the 2007-2013 programming period for integrated
interventions to support marginalised groups of society, including investments for social
housing. A similar model will be used for the measures for deinstitutionalisation. In the area
of education, the
Science and Education for Smart Growth OP
supports ‘soft measures’ for
institutions in the system of education and the
Regions in Growth OP
sites of educational
infrastructure.
