An ex-post assessment of income-generating project grants

The ESPN Flash Reports are produced by the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) established in 2014 to provide the European Commission with independent information, analysis and expertise on social policies. The topics presented in the Flash Reports are identified by ESPN experts in the light of significant developments in their countries, or in some cases suggested by the Commission.

The ESPN is managed by LISER and APPLICA, with the support of OSE - European Social Observatory. For more information, please visit this website.
This Flash Report discusses results of an ex-post assessment of income-generating project grants for impoverished persons, by focusing on whether the project resulted in sustainable income after project support and in increasing participation in various aspects of social life. Recommendations are made to improve the current situation.
