The meeting was an occasion to develop contacts and learn about the impact of the crisis on the population in Iceland, as well as the actions that the government and the NGOs have been taking to support the increasing numbers of people requesting support. Participants also discussed the possibility to develop a national anti-poverty network in Iceland and to give a European dimension to the national programme for the EU Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion in 2010. The Nordic EAPN Networks and EAPN Europe will support the further development of this cooperation with Icelandic NGOs.
