Strategies and policies
The Social Investment Package (SIP) sets out an integrated policy framework which reinforces the crucial role of active inclusion by focusing on – among others – one-stop shops, increase of take-up and coverage of social benefits, adequate income support and better activation.
Within the partnership of the Urban Agenda for the EU on urban poverty, cities, EU countries and the European Commission work together to identify EU policies with impact on inclusion of the poor and regeneration of deprived neighbourhoods.
