With the support of EC grant, GOHRRNM has also successfully implemented a project Living Equality with the goals of improving the involvement of all relevant stakeholders in the National Roma Inclusion Strategy (NRIS) implementation, strengthening and deepening local and regional stakeholder accountability, including Roma and their ownership of the results and commitment to the outcomes of the process of Roma integration. In addition, it was aimed at raising awareness on, and addressing the gaps and challenges of local/regional/national NRIS implementation. These are just a few of recent activities, also exemplary in their focus on the efforts Croatia has invested in increasing and improving minority youth participation in public life of our society, especially in regards to most vulnerable in an already extremely vulnerable community, such as Roma. As you can see, our example is also of benefits of cooperation and support we have enjoyed from all stakeholders, including UN agencies, such as UNDP, UNHCR and UNICEF.
