As part of the research, we examined whether developments funded by domestic and European Union resources had a noticeable positive impact on the opportunities of local residents, particularly in relation to child poverty. Summarising the results of case studies conducted in 15 localities as part of the methodology, we analysed projects implemented primarily in the field of public education in terms of project types, problems encountered during implementation and effectiveness.

The aim of this programme, co-financed by the European Social Fund, was to mitigate the deepening, reproduction and territorial spread of poverty, as well as to promote the integration of those living in extreme poverty.

The programme sought to achieve this by strengthening local community ties, tailoring social, health and other human services to local needs, and involving the local population.
