The objective of this project is to propose a mechanism to allow Decade countries to track and report on the results of Roma inclusion policies using a methodology unified across countries and time. This objective includes a review and evaluation of good practice in monitoring of the integration of ethnic minorities and proposing measures to strengthen outcome monitoring for the Decade of Roma inclusion – either at national level or across the Decade countries. Specifically, this projects develops a unifying integration measurement methodology, identifies the suitable indicators for tracking integration of Roma in the Decade countries for the four focus areas of the Decade – education, employment, health and housing, discusses adequate first and second best mechanisms of collection of data on Roma integration and sets concrete proposals for strengthening the results framework for the Decade, including guidelines for application of the suggested indicators using the available data.
