Description
In the framework of the Local Development Strategy (SDL) of Slobozia, carried out within the Community Development program placed under the Responsibility of the Community (DRLC), the Bora neighborhood is considered a marginalized area. In this area, according to SDL, "the poor population was spatially concentrated and they have in common the following: a low level of human capital, a low degree of employment on the formal market and precarious living conditions”. The local authority has not developed measures and projects that may solve the multitude of existing problems in the community. It was only in 2017 that a LAG was set up in the context of the European-funded program, DLRC. However, even if the basic principle involves the involvement of community members as part of the process, the Roma in the Bora neighborhood were not consulted, much less involved in the process. It is obvious that the lack of consultation and involvement of the beneficiaries will ensure the failure of such intervention. Hence, the aim of the project is to empower members of the vulnerable community in the Bora neighborhood in order to participate in the decisions process that affects their lives taken by LA and Slobozia GAL The activities of the project are the following: formation of Bora LAG and organize 3 civic actions; awareness and capacity building campaign; a partnership between community members and LA; monitoring the Local Authority and LAG activity; strengthening the financial capacity of the applicant NGO. Project results: increased civic awareness for 120 people; 120 people who will be involved in the 3 civic actions; A LAG in the Bora neighborhood consisting of 15 community members; A rights awareness campaign; A partnership between LAG Bora and AL; 22 persons participating in consultations with a public decision-making body; An initiative to monitor and watchdog the policies and services offered to citizens; strengthened financial capacity
