Vulnerable groups are exposed to social isolation and different forms of discrimination in our society. Their access to information, the labor market, education and culture, as well as participation in decision-making, is insufficient. The program will address the Roma minority and other groups at risk of social exclusion and poverty.
Thematic focus:
Improving the position of vulnerable groups in society.
Organizations will focus on strengthening vulnerable groups and their participation in decision-making on public affairs, as well as improving target groups’ income access to economic growth.
CSOs will be encouraged to cooperate with local authorities and introduce meaningful methods and services at the local level.
The program aims to strengthen the position of 2,000 individuals from vulnerable groups (especially Roma), provide services to 600 people and implement measures to strengthen the status of vulnerable individuals in 30 local governments.
