Summary/Abstract: General context: According to the 2001 All-Ukrainian Census, the number of Roma in Ukraine is 47,000. According to unofficial estimates, the country can be home to communities of 200,000 to 400,000 Roma, and these communities have varying degrees of integration into Ukrainian society. The Roma community remains one of the most vulnerable social groups in Ukrainian society, despite the completion of the Strategy for the Protection and Integration of the Roma National Minority into Ukrainian Society until 20202 (2020 Strategy) and the Action Plan for its implementation. The new strategy for Roma integration was approved by the Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of July 28, 2021 № 866-r. "On approval of the Strategy to promote the realization of the rights and opportunities of persons belonging to the Roma national minority in Ukrainian society until 2030" (Strategy 2030). The 2030 Strategy Action Plan is being developed. The need to develop an effective policy for the integration of the Roma community is in line with Ukraine's European integration aspirations, and is also part of the practice of implementing the best European experience in the process of optimizing state policy on minority communities.
