Impact TEACA – Integrated measures to improve the socio-economic situation of disadvantaged people in the marginalised communities of Teaca commune, Bistrița-Năsăud County

General objective of the project: Reducing the number of people at risk of poverty and social exclusion, through integrated measures (DLI 360), from the marginalised community Teaca, the villages of Teaca, Vii Tecii and Pinticu, where there is a population belonging to the Roma minority in proportion of 23 %. The general objective of the project is in line with the general objective for PA 4 “Social inclusion and combating poverty”, Thematic Objective 9: Promoting social inclusion, combating poverty and any discrimination' (Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013, Art. 3(1), a), Investment Priority 9.ii Socio-economic integration of marginalised communities, such as Roma. (Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013, Art. 3(1), a), focusing integrated measures (360) on the development of the marginalised community and, in the case, the members of the community, on all levels of community life and addresses for a target group of 1000 people belonging to the marginalised community consisting of: 200 children (150 Roma and 50 neromi) and 800 adults (550 Roma and 250 neromi). Based on the problems identified in the preliminary analysis in the villages of Teaca, Vii Tecii and Pinticu, the project aims, through this objective, to an integrated approach to improving employment services and social/medical/socio-medical services, as priority areas of action, along with education, housing and the regulation of property documents – as complementary areas based on community development and promotion of non-discrimination as a cross-cutting approach. The general objective of the project concentrates measures that lead to ensuring an integrated approach, avoiding disparate, mono-sectoral measures, whose effectiveness could be reduced in the absence of effective measures to accompany the main measures; avoiding shortcomings related to insufficient adaptation to the local specific needs of people at risk of poverty and social exclusion in the marginalised community. The villages of Teaca, Vii Tecii and Pinticu face a number of vulnerabilities that determine the marginalisation of the entire community through: low education, low formal employment, low access of the population to medical/socio-medical/social services, the existence of a large number of households affected by persistent poverty, the existence of ethnic stereotypes, as well as the reduced promotion of the fight against discrimination. Through community development we understand that during the 36 months of the project, the relevant beneficiaries and social actors are directly involved in all stages of implementation, starting from the analysis of the community needs (preliminary phase, prior to the submission of the financing application) to the impact assessment, with the wide participation of all stakeholders. The integrated approach of the project contributes through educational programs for 200 children, vocational training for 600
