| Title | Roma Integration in Secondary and Tertiary Education in Bulgaria: Evaluating State Capacity for Future Partnerships with Roma, pro- Roma NGOs and Donors |
| Summary | Abstract The existing literature on the relations between states and civil society organizations in service provision for the most marginalized and deprived strata of the society is the leading empirical instrument that contributed to the development of this work. This thesis elaborates on the low level of enrollment and graduation percentage of Roma in secondary and university education in Bulgaria. It promotes the state as a leading initiator of partnerships with emerging civil society organizations and donors for the betterment of Roma education in the country. I measure the state capacity through a combination of evaluative frameworks, applied on different levels through the National Roma Integration Strategy in Bulgaria. State capacity to initiate partnerships is revised in three dimensions: normative, institutional and financial. The findings suggest that roles, responsibilities, and resources of institutions within the National Roma Integration Strategy should be revised to provide for the leading role of the state to initiate fruitful partnerships for Roma education in Bulgaria. |
