In addition to presenting the results of 19 supported projects, good practice examples will also be presented, and the event will be attended by the representatives of local self-governments and civil society from Bela Palanka, Bor, Valjevo, Vladičin Han, Vranje, Vrnjačka Banja, Zaječar, Kragujevac, Kruševac, Lebane, Leskovac, Niš, Novi Pazar, Trstenik and partner organisations.

The Swiss Government, through the Swiss PRO Programme, supported local self-governments and civil society organisations to implement 19 projects in the period between May 2021 and April 2022, focusing on mitigating the effects of COVID-19 in substandard Roma settlements. By implementing social inclusion policies and practices, the availability of public services and meeting the needs of vulnerable men and women were enhanced.
