Public Consultation on the FEAD

Take part in the public consultation on the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD). The objective of the Fund is to alleviate the worst forms of poverty in the EU and to promote social inclusion.

The European Commission is carrying out an eva­lua­ti­on of the 2014–2020 support provided by the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived. In this context, a public con­sul­ta­ti­on has been launched for stake­hol­ders and citizens to provide feedback.
The con­sul­ta­ti­on is available online in all official languages of the EU and is open until 8 May 2024. Contributions are welcome from all citizens and orga­ni­sa­ti­ons, particularly:
1) citizens who received support, or are in need of support; 2) orga­ni­sa­ti­ons involved in managing ope­ra­tio­nal pro­gram­mes related to the fund; 3) bene­fi­ci­a­ries; 4) other orga­ni­sa­ti­ons involved in social inclusion policy.
The results will be used to assess the achie­ve­ments of the 2014–2020 period. They will also help the Commission to draw lessons on how to reinforce this support in the future, making it more effective and focused. Link to the consultation
