About
Enabling immigrants to easily know and exercise their rights
Key Findings
- Knowledge of migrants’ needs is scattered. Service providers often do not have the full picture of migrants’ access to services.
- Civil servants involved in service provisions to migrants at the local, regional or national level should receive specific intercultural training.
- Public officials’ limited awareness of human rights issues jeopardises access to the right to asylum and undermines the principle of good administration.
- Focusing on service design and ICT to improve service access for migrants should be part of all integration strategies at the national, regional or local level.
Highlighted Publications and Tools
