BUDAPEST, 18 MARCH 2010: The ERRC is commissioning an external

Roma; segregation in education and housing; forced evictions;
discrimination in the access to health care; and children�s rights and
women�s rights issues. The evaluation will assess the ERRC�s
organisation, methods and impact in individual cases and jurisprudence,
enforcement mechanisms, policies and programs and their translation into
systemic change in the target countries. The geographic scope may
include any country where ERRC has been active, but need cover only a
representative sampling of these countries and of work in these
countries.
