Impact

Roma children and families have benefited from enhanced access to quality social services in communities where projects were implemented. Roma children were offered an improved curriculum (including bilingual curricula in pre-school education) to promote diversity and non-discrimination. Unqualified Roma teachers working in local schools were trained as primary education teachers. Roma children benefited from new Romani language manuals and educational materials. UNICEF contributed to an enhanced capacity of Roma NGOs in the field of education, child health and protection. UNICEF actively contributed to the development of the policy framework for the improvement of the situation of Roma children, and supported the strengthening of public county health and education networks (with local Roma communities effectively linked to these county networks).

Strategic partnerships were built with government or inter-governmental bodies, such as the Ministry of Education, the European Union, the World Bank, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Council of Europe, the Roma Decade of Inclusion (and particularly with the Roma Education Fund), as well as with non-governmental organisations, such as Romani CRISS, “Together” Community Development Agency, Amare Rromentza, Center Education 2000+, Center Partnership for Equality, Agenda 21, and Ovidiu Rom.
