VISION

REDI Network is the first-ever network of organizations in Europe dedicated to the economic development of Roma and vulnerable communities and Roma entrepreneurs. The innovative part of this network is that the members come from financial institutions, grassroots organizations, training organizations, and employment agencies. The network is designed to encourage and support entrepreneurs from vulnerable communities in developing their businesses to achieve economic emancipation and social inclusion.

MISSION

Our mission is to establish a strong partnership with organizations from the European Union and develop regional projects that support vulnerable communities.

We aim to reach our mission by focusing on the following actions:

  • Establishing a strong partnership with the organization’s members that will adhere to the purpose;
  • Ensuring a network approach in research and analysis to develop common methodologies and assess local and regional legislation, policies, and practices;
  • Organizing and participating in decision-making processes, strategic dialogue, and raising public awareness through active citizenship, by promoting concrete pledges for social inclusion factors;
  • Enhancing the visibility and capacity of the network’s members by accessing international funding opportunities, facilitating participation in international learning events and dissemination actions.
