This volume contains the second research reports of the Romani Expert Groups for Romani Integration. Drawing on extensive background research and consultation with local stakeholders, four core areas were distinguished for the purpose of the needs assessment: Education; Health; Civil rights; and Employment. ECMI thanks the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) for its generous support. Sida has also provided support for this initiative from its inception.

As was true of their research in the first project year, the Expert Groups have chosen topics which have received little attention from other actors. By conducting their research primarily in Romani ghettos in the cities throughout Macedonia with the largest Romani populations, the Expert Groups have focused on various manifestations of marginalization in need of urgent attention from domestic and
international actors. The resulting reports provide valuable reference material for the design of measures to promote Roms' integration into the society of Macedonia as a whole. ECMI is particularly hopeful that the material in this volume will be useful in realizing the Strategy for Roma in the Republic of Macedonia, adopted by the Macedonian government in early 2005 after incorporating an extensive set of
revisions proposed by the Expert Groups, as well as in making the Decade of Roma Inclusion a genuine success in the Republic of Macedonia.
