The European Commission is gathering views on the EU’s first-ever Anti-Poverty Strategy. The strategy, to be presented next year, aims to provide essential protection for people while reflecting on the multidimensional nature of poverty and its root causes.
Through a call for evidence and a public consultation, the Commission is gathering the views of citizens, experts, and organizations to help shape the EU’s first-ever Anti-Poverty Strategy. The strategy, to be presented next year, aims to reflect on the multidimensional nature of poverty and its root causes and to address poverty from a life-course perspective, building on the social investment approach.
The strategy is part of the Commission’s broader commitment to fighting poverty and supporting social inclusion. It will also play a key role in implementing the European Pillar of Social Rights, as the EU strives to reduce the number of people at risk of poverty by at least 15 million by 2030.
How to submit feedback?
The European Commission is seeking input from stakeholders to help refine this initiative through two different methods:
A call for evidence, aimed at understanding the problem to be addressed and the objectives to be achieved, and explaining why EU intervention is needed.
A public consultation, based on an online questionnaire. If you are unable to use the online questionnaire, please email EMPL-ANTI-POVERTY@ec.europa.eu.
Una consulta pública, basada en un cuestionario en línea. Si no puede utilizar el cuestionario en línea, envíe un correo electrónico a EMPL-ANTI-POVERTY@ec.europa.eu
The questionnaires and forms are available in some or all official EU languages. You can submit your responses in any official EU language. To access, you must have an EU Login account.
For transparency reasons, organizations and companies participating in public consultations are asked to register in the EU Transparency Register.
Consultation Period
The consultation will be open until October 24.
