Fields of intervention

6.6. Combining actions from different fields of intervention
Except in certain cases in which complementarity between actions in the different fields of
intervention is foreseen, in general terms it is difficult to assess whether the interventions
planned will be implemented separately or in a complementary manner, following an
integrated approach. Complementarity is easier to identify in the territorial approaches
but it is also planned under other approaches (e.g. by planning interventions combining
the different fields or including elements that encourage this combination).
The
Polish
Knowledge, Education, Development OP
(ESF) foresees two contests to support
comprehensive actions to improve education and employment of the Roma community and
actions to eliminate the barriers to employment of the Roma and their integration with the
majority population.
Within the
Romanian
Regional OP
(ERDF), for the implementation of the measures to support
healthcare and social infrastructure development and improve educational infrastructure,
additional points are awarded if the projects address different areas complementarily (e.g. a
social infrastructure project in the same area as a medical infrastructure project).
The
Spanish
Social Inclusion and Social Economy OP
foresees the use of an integrated
approach addressing the needs of the Roma population in different areas (employment,
education, housing and social services) and combining actions focussing on the target
group and/or systems and structures (labour market, social policies, companies, etc.).
Within the framework of the OP, continuity is given to the national programmes ‘Acceder’
and ‘Promociona’ launched in the previous programming periods to improve the situation of
the Roma population in employment and education. In addition, a programme to promote
equal opportunities and socio-professional inclusion of Roma women, and to address the
multiple discrimination that they face will also be implemented at national level.
