As member of the EU Alliance for Investing in Children, EAPN is proud to support the Call for Action for a comprehensive, sustainable Europe 2030 strategy with a strong social dimension. In this statement, we called on the EU institutions to:
- Propose and adopt a comprehensive, sustainable Europe 2030 strategy with a strong social dimension
- Set an ambitious target to tackle poverty and child poverty in the EU with a mid-term review
- Strengthen social and economic policy coordination and monitoring of the Europe 2030 Strategy
- Allocate EU funding for the implementation of the Europe 2030 Strategy
- Meaningfully engage civil society and social partners in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Europe 2030 Strategy.
In addition to the MSP, the EU and its Member States should meaningfully consult children and families experiencing poverty and social exclusion and civil society organisations representing them in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the Europe 2030 Strategy.
