Cuvnt nainte

Cel mai accesat fond european n beneficiul comunitilor de romi din Romnia este Fondul Social European (FSE). Una din prioritile Programului Operaional Sectorial Dezvoltarea Resurselor Umane 2007-2013 se adreseaz incluziunii sociale a grupurilor vulnerabile, din care fac parte i persoanele de etnie rom, dar programul nu prevede o alocare financiar dedicat exclusiv romilor.

Am preluat mandatul de preedinte al Ageniei Naionale pentru Romi n luna octombrie 2009, dat la care aceast instituie guvernamental ncheiase ase contracte de finanare din Fondul Social European n cadrul Programului Operaional Sectorial Dezvoltarea Resurselor Umane 2007 2013 cu Ministerul Muncii, Familiei i Proteciei Sociale.

Cele ase proiecte strategice, dou n domeniul educaiei i patru n domeniul incluziunii sociale, au fost implementate la nivel naional, au avut o durat de implementare de 3 ani i o valoare total de peste 22,2 milioane euro, din care peste 18,6 milioane euro reprezint contribuia Uniunii Europene i 3,6 milioane euro contribuia naional.

Proiectele strategice au fost implementate n parteneriat cu 21 instituii publice i organizaii reprezentative, din care 17 au fost parteneri naionali i 4 parteneri transnaionali din Italia, Spania i Ungaria.

Beneficiarii acestor ase proiecte prevzui n contractele de finanare erau reprezentai de peste 37.000 persoane aparinnd categoriilor defavorizate, din care un procent de peste 70% reprezint persoane de etnie rom, respectiv peste 25.000 de romi.

n acelai timp, Agenia Naional pentru Romi era partener n cadrul a patru proiecte, din care trei proiecte strategice n domeniul incluziunii sociale i un proiect de grant n domeniul educaiei.

M-am gndit ce este de fcut. tiam c este nevoie de aceste proiecte n comunitile de romi. tiam c aceast minoritate are nevoie de o ans. tiam c exist resursa uman la nivel local, care s pun n aplicare aceste proiecte, dar, tiam n acelai timp, c este foarte greu.

Proiectele nu se aflau ntr-un stadiu corespunztor de implementare, activitile nu se desfuraser conform graficelor, nu se depusese nicio cerere de rambursare, n comuniti nici nu se auzise de aceste proiecte. Exista riscul ca banii s fie pierdui i contractele reziliate.

Am primit o motenire plin de responsabiliti enorme. S gestionezi peste 22 milioane de euro, fr o legislaie adecvat, fr personal pregtit i fr sprijinul unei asistene tehnice? n prima perioad de programare a fondurilor structurale n Romnia?

Acum realizez c a fost un act de mare curaj. Nu pot s redau n cuvinte ce a nsemnat pentru mine ca om, ca preedinte. Om am uitat s fiu pentru familia mea

4

i pentru mine, dar nu am uitat s fiu om pentru minoritatea creia i aparin. Nicio clip.

Am acordat posibilitatea echipelor de implementare local s vin cu propuneri n urma identificrii problemelor cu care se confrunt i s identifice nevoia de cursuri de formare profesional pentru romi corelat cu cerinele pieelor de munc locale

Am muncit mpreun cu peste 1.000 de experi, rspndii n toate colurile rii, crora le mulumesc pentru profesionalismul dovedit i pentru efortul depus. Ce mi doresc?

n primul rnd, mi doresc continuarea acestor proiecte benefice pentru romii din comunitate i ceea ce am realizat deja s aib un impact pe termen lung.

Un numr ct mai mare de copii care s beneficieze de burse sociale i de merit, un numr ct mai mare de elevi prezeni la sesiuni de pregtire la limba romn i matematic, i nu numai, n urma crora un numr ct mai mare de elevi s accead ctre licee.

Un numr ct mai mare de romi angajai, n urma absolvirii cursurilor de formare profesional.

Un numr ct mai mare de proiecte integrate pentru comunitile locale, accesate de autoritile locale n parteneriat cu ONG sau grupuri de iniiativ local, care s utilizeze n experii deja formai profesional.

Un numr ct mai mare de romi angajai n structurile administrative, care s dea culoare politicilor locale, naionale i europene.

Implementarea Strategiei Guvernului Romniei de incluziune a cetenilor romni aparinnd minoritii romilor pentru perioada 2012 2020, prin bugetarea de ctre ministerele de resort a planurilor de msuri, astfel nct politicile publice s devin un obiectiv real al clasei politice.

mi doresc ca experii care au implementat proiectele s fie contieni c i vor continua activitatea, iar beneficiarii proiectelor implementate de Agenia Naional pentru Romi s fie mulumii i mndrii c sunt primii oameni n care s-a investit pentru creterea calitii vieii lor i pentru dezvoltarea comunitilor n care triesc. Un singur lucru a dori s v mai spun: Ne gndim la voi

Introduction The most accessed European fund for the benefit of Roma communities from Romania is The Social European Fund. One of the priorities of the SOPHARD is the social inclusion of the vulnerable groups, including roma people, but the programme doesnt provide a financial allocation dedicated exclusively to roma people. I took the mandate for the presidency of National Agency for Roma in October 2009, when this government agency signed six funding contracts from the European Social Fund in SOPHRD with the Ministry of Labor, Family and Social Protection. Sixth strategic projects, two in education and four in social inclusion, were implemented at a national level, they were implemented in three years and have a total value of 22,2 millions EUR, out of which over 18,6 represent the European Union contribution and 3,6 million EUR national contribution. Strategic projects were implemented in partnership with 21 public institutions and representative organizations, out of which 17 national partners and 4 transnational partners from Italy, Spain and Hungary. Beneficiaries of these six projects stipulated in the funding contracts were represented by over 37.000 persons belonging to the disadvantaged categories, out of which over 70% are roma people, 25.000 persons. In the same time, National Agency for Roma was partner in four other projects, out of which three strategic projects in social inclusion and a grant project in education. I thought what to do. I knew there is great need for these projects in the roma communities. I knew that this minority needs a chance. I knew there are human resources at a local level, who can implement these projects, but I also knew that was a very difficult thing to do. Projects were not in a favorable implementation status, the activities were not done accordingly to the schedule, there were not filed any claims for reimbursement, local communities never heard of these projects. There was a great risk to lose the money and the contracts terminated. I received an inheritance full of enormous responsibility. Managing over 22 millions Eur without any adequate legislation, without trained personnel and without the support of technical assistance? In the first programming period for the structural funds in Romania?

6

Now I realize that my decision was a great act of bravery. I cannot put in words what it meant for me, as a human being, as president. I forgot to be human for me and my family, but I didnt forget to be human for the minority in which I belong. Not for a moment. I have given, to the local implementation teams, the opportunity to bring forth proposals for resolving the issues identified, and to identify the trainings need for roma people by taking in consideration the specifics of local labor market. I worked together with over 1000 experts, from all around the country, to which I give my thanks for their professionalism and their efforts. What do I want?

First of all, I want to continue these projects for the benefit of roma communities, so that the current accomplishments can have a long term impact.

As many children as possible benefiting of social and merit scholarships, as many students as possible attending preparation sessions in Romanian language and mathematics, in order for them to get into High Schools

As many employed roma persons as possible after completing qualification trainings As many integrated projects as possible, for the local communities, accessed by local authorities in partnerships with NGOs, and by the local experts already trained.

As many roma people as possible that are hired in administrative structures, working with local, national and European policies.

Implementing the Inclusion Strategy of the Romanian Government of Romanian citizens of Roma minority for the period 2012-2020, by creating budgets in the ministries for the action plans, so that public policies can become a real objective for politicians.

I wish that experts who implemented the projects to be aware that they will continue their activity and the beneficiaries of the projects implemented by the National Agency for Roma to be pleased and proud that they are the first people to be invested in their quality of life and in the local communities those they are living in. I would like to say one more thing: We are thinking of you
