EAPN (the European Anti-Poverty Network) has recently finalised a Toolkit on engaging with Europe 2020 and the European Semester, through the Country Specific Recommendations, National Reform Programmes and National Social Reports for this year.

The toolkit aims at providing brief, to the point information about the processes and the opportunities for engagement, by clarifying the key elements, timeline, and strategic actors of the new process, as well as giving links and suggesting different ways of involvement. They also give some tips for engaging in the new round, building on members’ experiences from the past years, and previous such Toolkits drafted with members.
