World Bank, and UNDP conduct first comprehensive assessment of Roma wellbeing in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine
The European Union, the World Bank, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have conducted the first comprehensive assessment of Roma wellbeing in the Eastern Neighbourhood, covering Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.
On 19 August, the findings for Georgia were presented at a workshop in Tbilisi, bringing together partners and stakeholders to discuss what the data tells us and what needs to change. The assessment was conducted as part of the regional EU-funded initiative ‘Roma Survey in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine’
The research combines detailed survey data with people’s lived experiences, helping bring greater visibility to the Roma community and providing a stronger evidence base for more inclusive policies
“For too long, the Roma community has been underrepresented in both policy and data. That makes it harder to see the realities people face and to design policies that respond to their needs,” says a Facebook post by the United Nations Development Programme in Georgia
The overall objective of the project is to narrow the gap in multi-dimensional poverty and access to socio-economic rights between Roma and non-Roma men and women in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine by contributing to evidence-based decision-making and more informed and focused policy debate on Roma inclusion
