The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the social (education) inclusion of marginalized children, particularly Roma through building local capacities for implementing national legislation. The project aims to impact on social and educational inclusion of children from marginalized groups, through strengthening the capacity of Inter-Sectorial Committees in local communities to provide additional support for children to engage in early development and education. Additional support includes medical, social and educational services provided to the child in order to allow him/her full social inclusion and progress. Inter-Sectorial Committees (ISC) are the main mechanisms for providing additional support for the child and for monitoring their implementation.
