Promoting and Strengthening National and Local Anti-Poverty Strategies (NAPS & LAPS)
This Poverty Watch report outlines elements that must be included in a comprehensive and effective NAPS and LAPS framework. The report provides a broad analysis of current NAPS in 19 countries as well as exploring common challenges across Europe. Not all EU member states have NAPS and those which exist are very different in their objectives, implementation process and resources. The promising approaches to NAPS and LAPS included in this report intend to encourage the development and potential impact of NAPS and LAPS and any future developments between the standards set by the EU and requirements from Member States. The recommendations included in the report both in terms of policy development but also in terms of governance, which is essential for NAPS and LAPS.
