In October 2011, the World Bank was asked by the Slovak Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Family to analyze the situation of the marginalized Roma community and recommend policy solutions on how to better include them in the mainstream society focusing on employment and social protection, financial inclusion, education, health, housing, monitoring and evaluation, and use of EU financing instruments. This overview of main findings complements the detailed report. It highlights the urgency of better integrating Roma in Slovakia and offers specific policy recommendations in each of the sectors. In carrying out its analyses, the World Bank benefitted from a large household survey sponsored by the European Commission in 2011 and implemented by UNDP in collaboration with the World Bank, which compensated for the chronic lack of data on how the Roma live
