Baseline Assessment of local integration strategies and migrant participation

This Baseline assessment analysis brings together the most important findings about the possibilities for the local integration and inclusion of migrants in seven project consortium countries, with a special focus on local/regional areas:

- Austria (Municipalities of Graz and Lustenau);
- Croatia (Medimurje County and City of Zagreb);
- Germany (Municipality of Berlin),
- Greece Crete Region (and Municipality of Heraklion) and Municipality of Neapoli-Sykies,
- Italy (Municipality of Empoli);
- Luxembourg (Schifflange Municipality); and
- Slovenia (Municipality of Ljubljana).

Focusing on the review of the possibilities of migrant integration and inclusion in each local/regional area with emphasis on both migrant and local/regional authorities’ needs, obstacles and gaps, policy recommendations have been designed in order to encourage the structural and systemic improvement of migrants’ participation on a local and regional level.

Good practices from each local/regional area have also been presented.

This Baseline assessment is prepared for decision-makers, public authorities, migrant leaders and organisations, local stakeholders and all those who will find it useful for implementing policies and methods for structural migrant participation, inclusion and emancipation.
