Description

In 2017, the National Roma Platform (Piattaforma Nazionale Rom, Sinti e Caminanti –Piattaforma RSC) was established as an advisory board for the implementation of the national strategy for the equality, inclusion and participation of Roma and Sinti (Strategia Nazionale di uguaglianza, inclusione e partecipazione di Rom e Sinti).
The platform is meant to help coordinate government institutions, the local authorities in charge of implementing the strategy and civil-society organisations representing Roma people and combating discrimination. The platform represents 79 civil-society organisations and is coordinated by the National Office against Racial Discrimination.
The platform’s goals include:

• monitoring and ensuring the implementation of the strategy’s actions and goals;
• identifying and fostering the exchange of good practices for Roma inclusion;
• periodically revising and updating the strategy;
• participating in national and local working groups on the implementation of the strategy.

The platform also contributed to the drafting of a new strategy, which has been adopted for 2021–2030.
