Community Action Programme to Combat Social Exclusion 2002-2006

Supported European Networks

Call for proposals VP/2002/008

Strand 3 - Participation of the various actors and support for networking at European level

One of the key objectives of the community programme is to develop the participation of and to promote dialogue with the various actors involved in the fight against social exclusion and poverty. In this context, it provides that the Community will contribute to the running costs of key European-level networks of organisations involved in the fight against poverty and social exclusion.

Such networks have an important contribution to make in the context of the new open method of coordination towards a better understanding of the most concrete forms of social exclusion, a regular monitoring of the implementation of the national action plans at a level closer to their main beneficiaries, a greater awareness of the European strategy in the public opinion, as well as to ensuring that this strategy takes into account the experience of people exposed to social exclusion.
