The project seeks to create a dedicated Observatory for Poverty and Homelessness in Greece, focusing on data collection by CSOs. The primary objectives include:
- Verifying the implementation of recommendations from the Poverty Watch in Greece.
- Validating conclusions derived from the European Meeting of People experiencing Poverty.
- Assessing progress towards the targets outlined by the European Platform on Combating Homelessness.
The Observatory aims to actively influence decision-making by applying institutional pressure, presenting the viewpoint of CSOs to stakeholders at local and national levels. The ultimate goal is to contribute significantly to reducing the number of people experiencing poverty and homelessness.
Target Groups:
The direct beneficiaries of the project are the public/municipal policy-making bodies and the field of CSOs. The project aims to expand their influence and consolidate their institutional role in the making and implementation of social policies.
The indirect beneficiaries encompass the percentage of the population experiencing poverty and social exclusion, specifically, the 26.3% of the population, which amounts to 2,722,000 individuals.
