#52026SC0771EU Principles for Effective Anti-Poverty Policies
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This document gives EU authorities a practical checklist for designing anti-poverty policies that work across income support, jobs, housing, healthcare, education, care services and local delivery. It is not a binding regulation, but it sets expectations for how national, regional and local governments should plan, fund, monitor and improve anti-poverty strategies. The guidance matters for public bodies, social services, employment agencies, schools, healthcare providers and civil society organisations. It pushes them to coordinate better, simplify access to benefits and services, involve people with lived experience of poverty, and use data to target support where poverty risks are highest.
