Belgium has made the fight against child poverty a priority of its EU Presidency mandate. Eurochild has developed therefore a scoreboard to assess the achievements of the EU Belgian Presidency in 6 months time. 

The scoreboard will have a special focus on four topics:

- Europe 2020 strategy;

- Fighting child poverty & social exclusion;

- Combating early school leaving and equipping young people with skills for the labour market;

- Promoting and protecting children's rights.

Visit Eurochild website (www.eurochild.org) to download the complete scoreboard.

In January 2011 Eurochild will publish its assessment of the Presidency.
