  4. Roma Integration Strategy 2020, Slovakia • Framed in the EC Communication from April 8, 2011 • Based on evidence • Providing broader context and conceptualization (Roma, Roma communities, marginalized Roma communities) • Quantifiable objectives (what, by how much and by when) • Emphasis on M&E (set of indicators; suggested data infrastructure and researches – EU-SILC, specialized surveys on Roma, poverty mapping, territorial tagging of regular/administrative data) • Wide consultations – thematic working groups on revision of NAPs; regional consultations with NGOs, state administration, local self-governments; consultations with line ministries; consultations with Roma activists; cooperation of the World Bank, OSI and UNDP

  9. Control questions when preparing National Roma Program / NAPs

  10. Results oriented NAPs – goals and targets • Is the goal formulated clearly to address the particular problem? • Is there a clear link between the goal and sub-goals or objectives? • Do the goal and/or objectives state the desired situation? (Do they clearly state what, how much and until when should be changed/we want to achieve?) • Is there a harmony of a given goal with the goals present in other places of the same priority area or in other priority areas?

  11. Results oriented NAPs – goals and targets • If measures are stated in the NAP are they sufficient for achieving a given objective (in case objectives are not defined of a given goal)? • If measures are stated in the NAP are they a set of activities linked together? (Do the activities describe a step-by-step process leading to implementation of a given measure?) • Is it clear whether an activity is a one-time event or a regularly repeated event? • Are the indicators proposed for goals or objectives outcome or impact indicators? Are the indicators proposed for measures and activities input or output indicators?

  12. Results oriented NAPs – indicators and data • Are data for computation of this indicator available? • Can this indicator be calculated on cyclical (annual) base? • Does this indicator have a substantive meaning? • Does this indicator correspond to the declared priority, objective and goal? • Is it possible unambiguously to interpret this indicator • Is monitoring accountability and monitoring independence for this indicator secured? • Can potential gender disparities be measured by this indicator?

  13. Examples of indicators (in education) Activity Measures Objectives Goal

  14. Sources of data for M&E • Administrative or routine data • Population registries (births/deaths) • Registered unemployment • Crime registries • Property registers, fiscal, social security • Census data • Population census • Establishment census • Survey data • Perception surveys • Household • Labor force • Victimization surveys • Demographic surveillance systems

  15. Example of one data source – specialized survey on marginalized Roma

  16. Regional survey on marginalized Roma 2011 • Survey as part of the EU funded project on evaluation of two projects (ECEC and microfinance/self-employment) implemented jointly with the World Bank • Funding: EU and UNDP (partially the World Bank) • Coordination with the survey of Fundamental Rights Agency (EU countries)

  17. Method and Sample I • Covers all countries of the Decade of Roma Inclusion in CEE plus the Republic of Moldova • Allows for comparison with the survey from 2004 (At Risk: Roma and the Displaced in Southeast Europe) • Representative for Roma living in municipalities with the over national level share of Roma population in total population and non-Roma living in their proximity

  18. Method and Sample II • Face-to-face interviews at the respondent’s household (male and female interviewers) • 4 modules – Household members; Household; ECEC (0-6), Perception questions (16+) • Combination of questions from various surveys (EU-MIDIS, EU-SILC, HBS, LFS, MICS) and original value/norms questions • 750 Roma and 350 non-Roma HHs (Sampling error: Margin error n=750 +/- 3.74%; n=350 +/- 5.49%)

  45. to conclude...National Roma Program should • Be results oriented (clearly stated goals and objectives) • Have quantified objectives (what by how much until when) • Be prepared in widely participative manner (state administration, local self-government, NGOs, academia, etc.) • Be transformed into local level actions (local development strategies) • Be regularly monitored and evaluated (progress and effects; internally & externally) • Have at disposal regularly collected data on situation of Roma communities (administrative data, surveys – regular(EU-SILC, LFS) or specialized)
