EAPN develops its views on how to make sure that the Cohesion Policy can be used as a driven force for an inclusive society in the two key following documents:
– EAPN Survey on Structural Funds & Social Inclusion : EAPN conducted with its members a detailed study to assess the contribution of the current programming period of Structural funds to social inclusion and the role left by national managing authorities to social NGOs. The study also delivers key political messages for the post 2013.
– EAPN Public Response to the Barca Report : EAPN warmly welcomes the Barca Report as a major step forward for making the Cohesion Policy a powerful means to fight poverty and social exclusion, thanks to the newly promoted social inclusion objective and the place-based approach mobilising all local actors.
