When analysing whether countries use ESF Investment Priority 9.2. or other IPs to address
Roma inclusion, information collected shows that the majority of countries (65%) opt for
using ESF IP 9.2. Out of these countries, a bit less than half use this IP in all their ESF
OPs of relevance for Roma inclusion, either as the only IP or together with other IPs within
each OP (Belgium, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia). The rest of the countries combine
OPs addressing Roma inclusion under IP 9.2. together with OPs that use other IPs (Czech
Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy and Spain).
On the other hand, despite the fact there is a dedicated IP, five countries (Austria, Croatia,
Poland, Portugal and Sweden) prefer using only other IPs (whether under TO9 or other
TOs) to address Roma inclusion.
