Local Development and Poverty Reduction, Enhanced Roma Inclusion - EEA&Norway Grants

Fighting poverty requires going down to the root causes – lack of job prospects, job capacity and problems leading to social exclusion. This includes supporting innovative solutions, empowering people to play an active role in the development of their community and create better prospects for the disadvantaged.  Through the Grants, the support activities are:
- The development of active inclusive policies and bottom-up approaches
- The sharing of best-practices and knowledge at local, regional and national level
- Activities to increase job prospects and job capacity
- Anti-discriminatory activities focusing on those vulnerable to social and economic exclusion
- Cross-sectoral and socially innovative approaches, such as to address unemployment among young people or minorities
