Results of EAPN’s 2014 ANNUAL CONFERENCE: How will the Europe 2020 Strategy Mid-Term Review reduce poverty and inequality?

Seminar and Roundtable Debate

How will the Europe 2020 Strategy Mid-Term Review reduce poverty and inequality?

EAPN organised a round table on Friday 3 October 2014 to present its own assessment and proposals and to create a space for debate between EU Institutions and other stakeholders on how real progress on the poverty target can be made. It offered an opportunity to assess why the Strategy and the Semester has failed to deliver on poverty, participation and growing inequality and to discuss concrete recommendations for change to feed into the Mid-Term Review process.
