| Summary: | Hungary’s recently established equality
of opportunity framework guides the planning and
implementation of interventions addressing the most pressing
social inclusion challenges at the local level. The equality
of opportunity framework provides a comprehensive set of
resources, guidance, and templates to local governments to
facilitate the planning of local equality plans (LEPs).
Through extensive consultations with various governmental
and non-governmental stakeholders at the national and local
level, a series of challenges were identified for moving
from a theoretical planning exercise to an earnest
application that is, operationalization of the equality of
opportunity framework at the local level. The intention of
this handbook is to provide: practical guidance and hands-on
instruments that empower local stakeholders to actively and
effectively shape the local social inclusion landscape
within the overall guiding framework of the local equal
opportunity programs. The handbook therefore focuses on the
challenges and opportunities of those local governments and
related stakeholders that have the relevant primary care
capacities and apparatus. The handbook is accompanied by a
comprehensive set of illustrative local social inclusion
case studies from all over Hungary. The case studies are
intended to increase stakeholders’ awareness, facilitate
knowledge transfer, and peer learning. Even relevant
elements of the case studies need to be customized and
integrated into the local context. |
