I suppose this will be difficult to obtain a number. There must be non-active ngos still registered and active ones, non registered.

Here are links that could - if you didn't have them already - help you with your search. The second one is a directory listing all ngos, but their activities are mentioned. I saw a few Roma's in there. The last one shows documents out of a meeting about racism in central and eastern europe, including Roma's situation.

Central Europe NGO directory

European roma rights center

You might want to contact the Soros Foundation in New York, as they seem to be involved with Romani NGOs:

Cheers esther! I know a lot of these ngo's are not actually registered with any organisation...just going on to prove a point of my dissertation that there should be some accountability of NGO's

a ngo is a non governmental organisation that works with sustainability and development issues
Romani is the largest ethnic minority group of people in central and eastern europe.

Therefore a Romani NGO is an organisation that is not affiliated with a political regime that helps to develop end enrich the lives of Romani people
