Firstly, and most importantly, it is intended for local governments which have relatively large number of residents in the equal opportunity target groups or other disadvantaged groups within their administrative areas. The second target audience of this Handbook is comprised of municipal employees and civil professionals responsible for the preparation, implementation and organization of the local delivery of social services. Two key consideration guided the focus on the Handbook in this context: (i) the Hungarian local government system is extremely heterogeneous by nature and as a consequence, (ii) the local level obligations vary greatly depending on the size of the settlement. 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. Primary care capacities means that these local governments run more than just the basic social services (child day care facilities up to primary education and access to basic healthcare facilities). More specifically, the focus is on those local governments that are in charge of a more comprehensive set of some social, educational and health services and that also receive funding for the implementation of employment initiatives. The target audience in this context is the staff which is responsible for designing and running these services. Having made this caveat, the Handbook still provides useful clues for smaller municipalities, particularly with regard to how they can best facilitate access to relevant services that are available within the communities’ vicinity i.e. are provided by higher-tier government agencies - which often proves to be the most pragmatic way to address service gaps.  Réduire
