Please outline briefly the commitment(s) made in the areas outlined above :
Since 2016, Slovakia has stepped up efforts to support Marginalised Roma Communities in acquiring legal title to land under their dwellings. The lack of such legal title is a major obstacle for being connected to public infrastructure and to accessing clean water, sanitation and clean energy. Acquiring legal title improve the access of Marginalised Roma Communities to adequate housing, basic infrastructure and basic services (water, sanitation, hygiene, energy, telecommunications).

Since 2016, 148 municipalities have been involved in this programme. By 2023, legal entitlements to land have been at least partially settled in 20 municipalities. By 2026, all municipalities with identified presence of Marginalised Roma Communities should be involved in the programme and the target is to improve the standard of living in 1500 households.
