Nos hacemos eco, con FRESNO, una de las empresas participantes, de un estudio de metaevaluación, hecho posible por el Joint Research Centre (JRC) de la Comisión Europea, sobre más de 140 proyectos de 30 países, sobre inclusión de la población gitana.

Implementers of the interventions should understand what the positive outcomes are and why, as well as those with a mixed or negative outcome that need to be reviewed.
