EAPN ČR (EAPN Czech Republic)

The EAPN Czech network was set up within weeks of the Czech Republic joining the European Union in May 2004. In that year, too, the EAPN General Assembly in Groningen formally accepted it as a member.

EAPN Czech Republic forms today a forum for the exchange of opinions, information and experiences in the Czech Republic to engage with the European Network’s activities.

The top priority is to get the Czech authorities to recognize that poverty and social exclusion exist in the Republic, to dismantle the social and political obstacles facing people vulnerable to poverty and social exclusion, and to work to bring them into the mainstream of society.
