Participatory action research (PAR) on local Roma integration plans. It is expected to – improve policy maker’s understanding of the situation of
Roma & what works in Roma inclusion processes, what doesn’t & why (*)
– Better understanding of the processes (how projects, activities, strategies implemented; how EU and other funds for Roma integration are used)
– examine and develop ways of improving the design, implementation and monitoring of Roma integration policies and actions at local level
– all that done by Roma and not for Roma
