This evaluation undertakes a critical appraisal of the Immigrant Citizens Survey. The survey was funded under the European Integration Fund and jointly coordinated by the King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) and the Migration Policy Group (MPG).
The survey was implemented in cooperation with research, polling and launch partners in the 7 countries covered by the survey. The survey was implemented in 2011 and 2012 and launched in May 2012.
The evaluation is based on comprehensive review of relevant project documents (proposal, technical reports, questionnaires), an analysis of the SPSS data file and interviews with representatives from the project team (the scientific coordinator at MPG and national research partners). In addition, the evaluator conducted interviews with external experts – a representative from Eurostat and a representative from the Fundamental Rights Agency – in order to solicit external expert opinions of the survey.
