Created in 1991, EAPN Portugal forms today a decentralised structure which is implemented in 18 districts throughout the country and counts 703 members (478 social NGOs and 225 individuals).
This original decentralised form of network creates privileged space allowing civil society to take specific actions at local and community levels, promoting, among others, a culture of change in relation to the way problems are tackled trying to modify traditional approaches, the exchange of knowledge and experience, the creation of conditions to exercise the solidarity as well as the consolidation of participation of people experiencing poverty and social exclusion in the initiatives that are aimed at them.
