Intercultural mediation
The
Portuguese
Social Inclusion and Employment OP
(ESF) foresees a project of municipal
mediators targeting the Roma communities. It is intended to work at the level of individuals,
but also institutions, promoting networking and partnerships capable of building bridges
between citizens and institutions. The creation of intercultural mediation teams or local
mediators should take place within the framework of partnerships between local authorities
and civil society organisations.
Greek
regional OPs foresee the extension of the community centres that existed in the 2007-
2013 programming period to all regions. The community centres in Roma settlements will
focus on Roma and include Roma mediators among other staff. Community centres will
also serve in areas with Roma and non-Roma population.

Active citizenship of target groups
The
Hungarian
Human Resources Development OP
(ESF and ERDF) stresses the importance
of social active engagement in the strengthening civil society organisations, the development
of minority self-governments, the support and participation of Roma women in the public
life of Roma women’s organisations strengthening.

Social, cultural and sport infrastructure
(e.g. Bulgaria, Romania).

Use of
rehabilitation of confiscated assets for social inclusion measures
and integration
of legal immigrants and asylum seekers (e.g. the Italian
Legality OP
).
While the gender dimension of OPs was not specifically addressed in the analysis, it
is observed that, in general terms, there are not many references to gender aspects or
to specific initiatives targeting Roma women. However, some countries do consider the
gender dimension (e.g. Hungary, Italy, Spain, among others).
