The EU's fight against poverty must include candidate countries. 🤝

🤔 Think the EU can end poverty alone?

The EU sets the agenda, but national & local governments are the ones with competence on housing, social services, and more. That's why we need strong multilevel plans!

For the first time, the EU will present an Anti-Poverty Strategy in 2026.
Poverty isn’t just an economic issue, it’s a violation of human rights affecting over 93 million people in EU. Yet, it’s addressed in silos.
That’s why a coalition of EU civil society organisations are calling for a strategy

The European Commission released the 5th edition of the EU Rule of Law Report. While this year’s report highlights the link between the rule of law and the Single Market, it overlooks a critical issue: poverty.

Poverty is multidimensional, it goes far beyond socio-economic factors alone.

The upcoming EU Anti-Poverty Strategy must go beyond the European Pillar of Social Rights. That means addressing the structural roots of poverty head-on.

🚨 According to Eurostat last statistics, in 2024, at least 93.3 million people in the EU were living at risk of poverty or social exclusion.

Europe remains far from meeting the 2030 targets for poverty reduction of 15 million people.
