This publication is the report of an EAPN seminar held in Frankfurt, on 13-14 March 1998.
This publication aims to inform and support networks at Member State level to impact on their Government’s approach to the reform of the Structural Funds and on their Government’s plan for using Structural Funds in the 2000 to 2006 period.
The seminar consisted of a debate on civil society: the recognition of civil society and its role, East and West, in addressing the ‘New’ forms of poverty, for example that experienced by the unemployed, migrants and refugees, ethnic minorities, prisoners and ex-offenders, the homeless, and drug and alcohol abusers.
The purpose of this report is to promote a dialogue between community sector networks in different member states of the European Union on structural fund issues and policies at a time when the reform of the funds is under consideration.
