Articulation of stakeholders
Promoting inter-institutional, intra-country and coordination between different government levels
The intervention of several stakeholders in the different phases of a public policy (building of the agenda, drafting, implementation, and assessment) is crucial to make sure goals are achieved. In many occasions, lack of dialogue, over-imposing structures and functions, inertias or a wrong division of work are obstacles against the effective implementation of a policy. Because of its features and work modes, the EUROsociAL programme has resulted in a useful and effective tool to ensure and boost the articulation of stakeholders at a country level. Because it is an external stakeholder, only interested in supporting the policies in the country, EUROsociAL is perceived by the institutions as a facilitator, whether to drive processes or to speed up situations of institutional blocking. EUROsociAL is supporting the articulation of stakeholders mainly in three areas: inter-institutional, intra-country and between different government levels.
