Blomeyer & Sanz sl, Spain/ Council of Europe

Impact assessment of the ROMED programs funded by the Council of Europe (CoE) and the European Commission. In partnership with B&S CREDA recruited teams in seven countries covered by the evaluation – Bulgaria, Macedonia, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Portugal and Ukraine and designed the methodology. CREDA provided team leadership in assessing the effectiveness, efficiency and impacts of the two programs implemented by the CoE: support to Roma intercultural mediators in the area of education and employment and support to community empowerment initiatives and community action groups. Recommendations served to design a new program in the same area.
