Migration,
Poverty &
Social Exclusion

EU Poverty Watch consultancy

Eufonía Diversity SL 15 September 2026 Submission deadline · 15 October 2026

A multidisciplinary enquiry into how migration status shapes exposure to poverty—and access to protection from it.

Eufonía.02

The assignment

Not migration policy
in the abstract.

The report must show how migration status interacts with socio-economic systems to produce, deepen or prevent poverty.

01
Work & income

In-work poverty, precarious employment and employer-dependent residence.

02
Protection & services

Housing, healthcare, education, social protection and income support.

03
Rights & non-take-up

Legal, administrative, economic and discriminatory barriers—including fear and status insecurity.

Approximately 20 national Poverty Watches → one comparative European advocacy report.

Our reading of Poverty Watch

Evidence with a
political purpose.

01National knowledge

Member reports are civil-society knowledge products, not raw data to be stripped of context.

02Lived expertise

People experiencing poverty are knowledge-holders whose evidence shapes interpretation and solutions.

03Advocacy utility

Findings must become clear demands for EU institutions, Member States and national networks.

Analytically credible and immediately useful in policy and advocacy.
Aligned to EAPN’s bottom-up Poverty Watch and participation approach

From conditions to change.

No evidence stream is treated as decoration or appended after the analysis.

Eufonía.05

Comparative method

A transparent route through 20 national reports.

A common codebook preserves national context while making recurring mechanisms comparable.

Legal & human-rights analysis

a right in practice.

Eufonía.07

Lived experience

Not a quotation layer.
An evidence stream.

Testimony will shape causal analysis, interpretation and recommendations from the beginning.

01Encounter

Which institution, rule or sequence is being experienced?

02Mechanism

What does the testimony reveal that policy description misses?

03Consequence

How do harms accumulate across work, housing, services and status?

04Agency

What coping, resistance, collective action or solution is proposed?

Context preservedConsent respectedNo re-identificationAgency retainedMeaning validated
Led by Nadra Fredj · qualitative, participatory and institutional-power analysis
Eufonía.08

Intersectionality

Operationalised
at every stage.

Migration status is analysed as one differentiating condition among others—and legal categories can themselves produce vulnerability.

Comparative synthesis

Compare mechanisms.
Preserve national realities.

01Common patterns

Mechanisms repeated across national reports.

02National differences

How policy design, eligibility and delivery vary.

03Contradictions

Where formal rights and actual access diverge.

04Distributions

Which groups carry disproportionate risk.

05Promising practice

Approaches that remove barriers or strengthen agency.

06Evidence gaps

What cannot be concluded—and whose reality is absent.

OUTPUTA traceable European narrative that is neither a country ranking nor an abstract policy survey.
Eufonía.10

From evidence to advocacy

Recommendations that
name the route to change.

EU references appear where they identify a decision point, an instrument or an accountable actor.

01
Problem & affected groups

What is happening—and to whom?

02
Evidence & mechanism

What shows it, and what produces it?

03
Action & instrument

What changes in law, policy, funding or practice?

04
Actor & accountability

Who acts, by when, and how is progress tested?
