EAPN Poverty Watch
EAPN is looking for a research analyst to conduct its annual report on the state of poverty and social exclusion. The European Poverty Watch report is a compilation of data and analysis from EAPN members’ bottom-up research national reports. It is an evidence-based report on the current trends and policies on poverty and social exclusion in Europe with concrete recommendations on EAPN’s priority matters. Every year, this exercise, as our key advocacy tool, puts poverty as a multidimensional concept at the top of the European political agenda, addresses the root causes of poverty and amplifies the voices of people experiencing poverty both at national and regional levels. The National Poverty Watches are rooted in the reality of EAPN members’ work, and the priorities and expertise of people
experiencing poverty (PeP).
Above all, it should be an effective communication tool aiming to a)signpost key developments/trends on poverty and the impact of social, economic, digital and green policies at the national level, b) identify the key issues and c) propose person-centred and rights-based solutions.
Whilst the target audience of the European Poverty Watch report is European stakeholders, the national Poverty Watch aims to reach both national and EU decision-makers, as well as national stakeholders, civil society organisations, universities and the wider public.
