Developing inclusive policies: Housing and infrastructure of marginalized Roma communities in the use of EU funds in Slovakia

Donor: Open Society Foundations

Period: January – June 2013

The project analyzes policies and the use of structural funds in the field of housing and infrastructure that are aimed at tackling social exclusion of marginalized Roma communities.

We identify municipality policies employing intersectoral approach, i.e. they interconnect housing and infrastructure measures with other key areas (employment and edcuation). The project is based on an interdisciplinary approach combining secondary data analysis, public policy analysis and empirical research.

The main objective is to assess the limits of both EU and state funds’ use in the processes of Roma inclusion, as well as to contribute to a broader discussion. Furthermore, the project analyzes so called hard cases that could help us reveal structural deficiencies of state housing policies.
