Roma Exclusion

The Decade of Roma Inclusion represents one of the touchstone recent documents in Europe aimed at ending discrimination against the continents largest minority. Nine countries have signed the agreement from 20052015 to guarantee demonstrable progress in four principal areas: education, health, housing, and employment. While different institutions, including OSI, are engaged in developing and monitoring policies in these principal areas, there is nonetheless a need for systematic analysis and oversight as to how these goals are (or are not) being achieved, and how the Decade could tackle policy challenges beyond purely sectoral issues.
