On 11-12 October 2012 in Budapest, the MERI network awarded mayors for best practices in using EU and other donor funds for Roma Inclusion in the areas of education, employment, health, housing and public utilities. John Warmisham, Thematic Rapporteur of the Congress on Roma/Travellers, took part in the award ceremony, which was held under the patronage of László Andor, EU Commissioner responsible for employment, social affairs and inclusion. The OSI-MERI network aims at implementing projects to integrate and include socially disadvantaged groups at local level, with a special focus on Roma and will work in cooperation with the Council of Europe’s Alliance of Cities and Regions for Roma Inclusion, as well as other networks and associations committed to Roma inclusion.
