  • Integrated Project for Social Inclusion for Vulnerable Groups in Burgas, Sredets and Malko Tarnovo (BULGARIA)
    Case name: Integrated Project for Social Inclusion for Vulnerable Groups in Burgas, Sredets and Malko Tarnovo (BULGARIA) ‘wow factor’ For the moment, the wow factors are all related to the skilled municipal team and their good partners. The institutionalization of this project may work well in Burgas because of the experienced municipal team that could easily take over the project and claim ownership beyond the end of the programme. Because of the serious engagement of the municipality and its partners, the future financial support with delegated budgets may not be an issue – the municipality is capable of competing for these central level budgets and it is likely that they will ensure the budget, once they could demonstrate a well-functioning programme. 1. 1. Subject/issue Integrated approach to Roma inclusion through pre-school, education, healthcare and cultural empowerment. Pre-school, education and healthcare services are coupled with infrastructure programmes – in other words, services will be delivered in improved facilities (kindergartens, schools and medical centers). The project is led by the municipality of Burgas but is implemented in partnership with 2 other municipalities, a Roma foundation, a primary school and a media foundation. The financial support consists of a combination of Swiss (85%) and Bulgarian funds (15%) and is managed in cooperation with 3 Bulgarian ministries: MLSP, MES and MH. This programme is an attempt to closely cooperate with central and local authorities, and in fact vest it within local authorities, so that sustainability and continuity is ensured (funding from central or local budgets, trained municipal human resources, established partnerships lead to a gradual transition of the project into the municipality which receives later financial support from the central budget).
