The ‘European Network on Social Inclusion and Roma under the Structural Funds’ (EURoma Network) (www.euromanet.eu) has been working throughout the whole 2007-2013 programming period to promote the use of Structural Funds for the inclusion of the Roma population. To this end, it gathers, under the leadership of the Spanish ESF Managing Authority and with the Fundación Secretariado Gitano (FSG) as Technical Secretariat, public bodies responsible for ESI Funds (ESF Managing Authorities or delegated Intermediate Bodies/Implementing Authorities) and for the policies targeting the Roma population (National Roma Contact Points) from fifteen Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Slovakia and Sweden.
The report has a two-fold objective:
· To provide a glance at EURoma´s trajectory, main products, and overall added value and impact during its eight years of operation.
· To review how fourteen countries currently involved in the EURoma Network (all but Finland) consider Roma inclusion in the Operational Programmes adopted for the 2014-2020 ESI Funds programming period, identifying the most relevant trends as well as the key challenges for the implementation phase that has already started.
