Decade Intelligence Report - Factors for success or failure of Roma inclusion projects
PDF | 705KB

The present report is a result of the Decade Intelligence research project. It aims to serve as guidelines for Roma inclusion actors in designing, implementing and monitoring their efforts, by providing them recommendations about factors that can influence the results of their project in either a positive or negative way. The report is not an exhaustive list of such factors; it is a list of helpful tips, rather than a book of instructions. It is a learning tool developed through the years-long experience of attempts for Roma inclusion within the Decade.
