Description
1) Objective
This call aims to support the formation and strengthening of national Roma civil society coalitions to advocate effectively for the rights and inclusion of Roma communities. Selected coalitions will engage in joint advocacy, monitoring, and awareness-raising activities, with a view to influencing national policies and ensuring the implementation of national Roma strategic frameworks. While also new and other already established coalitions are encouraged to apply, this call aims to specifically build on the results achieved by the Roma Civil Monitoring project (2021-2025), through which National Roma Coalitions monitored the implementation of national Roma strategic frameworks and advocated for a better implementation of the framework on national level.
