In addressing Roma integration, all stakeholders play different roles depending on their mandates, competences and capacities. In the previous years we have witnessed significant steps being taken in developing policy, legal and funding instruments and coordination structures with the aim to improve the situation of Roma in Europe. However, there is still a long way to go to ensure real change in the life of Roma communities on the ground. The Platform will aim for a policy reflection on mutual accountability with regard to the effectiveness of policies and funding used at EU, national and local levels.
Active participation and representation of Roma in the inclusion process, empowerment of Roma women and youth, protection of Roma children was identified as key objectives to be achieved by public policy actors at all levels within the limits of their competences. The policies for Roma inclusion, including the fight against anti-gypsyism, should also target the mainstream population and serve to preserve Roma identity and culture. The Platform will generate a policy reflection on mutual accountability with regard to Roma empowerment and participation.
After high level political panels and discussion the Platform will provide the possibility for in-depth participatory discussions among all stakeholders of Roma integration. Through the sharing of views, participants should also reflect on their own role in the process.
