Summary:

The present document presents a civil society monitoring report of the Belgian strategy for Roma inclusion, focused on four central themes: housing, employment, healthcare and education. While the need for an integrated approach is also generally acknowledged in Belgian politics, it is clear that two policy approaches coexist: mainstreamed and targeted.

In Wallonia (French speaking Belgium), the inclusion of minorities generally takes place in wider policies and measures connected to socio-economic poverty and exclusion. Integration policies are presented as inclusive, and hence built on the idea that “a poor person is a poor person”. Flanders, on the other hand, has developed separate policies and action plans targeting the Roma and Traveller minorities specifically.
