Country fiche

FEAD country fiche - Slovenia (2018 version available)

Overview

Slovenia provides food through its operational programme, which aims to provide assistance to individuals who have found themselves in difficult social and material circumstances.

In 2014, 20.4% of residents in Slovenia were at risk of poverty. In the same year the severe material deprivation rate was 6.6%.

Those who require aid receive free food packages via the FEAD operational programme, mainly at local distribution points but also, in the case of those most vulnerable and socially excluded, directly at homes and shelters.  Recipients are also offered accompanying measures to encourage their social inclusion and informed about available social activities.
