Diversity in the Economy and Local Integration (DELI) is a project funded by the European Integration Fund and led by the Council of Europe, and involving 10 European cities. It aims to:
- Support the development of local partnership platforms with a view to engaging local public & private actors in supporting migrant entrepreneurship at local level;
- Facilitate access of migrant-owned SMEs to public and private procurement;
- Develop quality management standards and assessment tools for local governments supporting the design and implementation of economic policies consistent with the principles of equal treatment, integration and diversity management.
The project’s kick-off meeting will take place in Brussels on 4 & 5 March, at the Council of Europe’s office.
Attendance is by invitation only.
