The \u0093Austrian Network against Poverty\u0094 is an organization which strives to unite NGO\u0092s within Austria to fight against poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They held their first conference on the 15th of March, 1996 in Salzburg. Welfare and church organizations, educational institutions, and a large variety of other groups attended this conference. The \u0093Austrian Network against Poverty\u0094 is itself an NGO which is connected with the European Anti Poverty Network (or EAPN). They refer to themselves as a lobbying group for those who can\u0092t lobby. To some extent they are also a research institution, and through collecting data, facts, and strategies of reducing poverty they hope to lobby more successfully. Ultimately, their goal is to include poverty on the \u0093agenda of the EU policymakers.\u0094\n\nThey have a few publications that highlight their efforts, such as their documentation of their latest conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
