Decade Watch is the first assessment of government action on implementing the commitments expressed under the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005–2015. Since the Decade aims at giving Roma a voice in the process of inclusion, this assessment has been conducted by coalitions of Roma NGOs and activists from all countries participating in the Decade. Decade Watch is a contribution by Roma activists toward making the Decade a success.
Decade Watch is supported by the Open Society Institute and the World Bank. This support has included training and mentoring the research teams, as well as developing the methodology, and providing editorial and production support.
