The European Commission allocated funding for ANED for four years. 2011 is the fourth and final year of the current contract. During this year the Network will continue working on the following themes: EU law and policy (updating and detailing the mapping of EU law and policy instruments), Data and indicators (providing comparative data on a number of quantitative implementation indicators), Employment and Social Protection / Social Inclusion (reviewing the 2011 National Reform Programmes for Growth and Jobs).
As part of the EU Disability Strategy 2010-2020, a new and significant task for this year is the development and piloting of an online tool to identify the implementation of national policy instruments required by the UN Convention. In November, a final conference will be organised for the network members and other key stakeholders.
