The Ιmpact of the “Social Structures to Tackle Poverty in Greece” through the eyes of its people
Abstract
The present article focuses on the implementation of the programme of Social Structures to Tackle Poverty in Greece (hereafter: “SSTPGs”) realised throughout the period 2012-2017. In particular, the paper presents the results of evaluation conducted at five (5) different municipalities of Attica. The paper emphasizes on the findings of qualitative research carried out on the basis of sixteen (16) interviews, with employees directly benefiting from the SSTPGs as well as with participant members of the Implementation Bodies, Vice Mayors and officials from the Non-Profit Civil Partnership (AMKE) Scientific Society for Social Cohesion and development (hereafter: “EPEKSA”). It constitutes the second part of assessment which was realised with the purpose to allow the individuals involved in the programme to provide feedback on it, for themselves. Basically, the key point concluded from the interviewees’ own responses has been that the programme’s mission was fulfilled successfully. Also, another main objective achieved has been the beneficiaries’ re-inclusion into society, through guided counselling and psychosocial support.
