| description |
This report is meant to support the
Slovak Government in its efforts to address the exclusion of
the Roma by offering evidence-based policy advice. The
assessment relies on three main sources of information.
First, it takes advantage of the 2011 United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP)/World Bank/EC regional Roma
survey, described, which is the most comprehensive survey
effort to date to capture the situation of marginalized Roma
in Central and Eastern Europe. It also includes information
from the 2010 survey by UNDP, done specifically on Slovak
Roma at the request of the ministry of labor, social
affairs, and family. The results on comparable indicators
from both surveys are very similar. Second, this report
relies on qualitative information, collected through field
visits in Eastern Slovakia and through interviews with key
stakeholders from the Slovak Government and from civil
society. And third, each of the chapters highlights relevant
international experiences from which Slovak policy
formulation on Roma integration can benefit. Many of the
international examples and best practices from integrating
poor and marginalized communities elsewhere provide reasons
to be optimistic that Roma integration does not have to be a
distant goal for Slovakia. The remainder of this report
provides an overview of the assessment of the situation in
five sectors and in two cross-cutting areas, followed by
specific policy recommendations in each. These five sectors
are: (1) employment and social protection, (2) financial
inclusion, (3) education, (4) housing, and (5) health, while
the cross-cutting areas are (6) monitoring and evaluation,
and (7) use of EU financing instruments. One critical area
beyond the scope of this report is the ability of the Slovak
legal and judicial system to successfully protect the rights
of all citizens, including the courts, issues of legal aid,
as well as law enforcement issues. Recently, a much
discussed court ruling in Eastern Slovakia held school
segregation as illegal. More of such cases may emerge,
especially in light of the 2007 ruling against school
segregation by the European Court of Human Rights in
Strassbourg. While important, these are all beyond the scope
of this report. |
