MPG publishes new self-assessment handbook for municipalities and their regional integration practices
Migration Policy Group (MPG), as part of the AMIF-funded REGIN Project, has published a new self-assessment handbook for regional integration practices. The handbook enables regional administrations to evaluate their migrant integration policies in terms of their formulation, content, and implementation. It also serves as a guide for best practices and the improvement of integration policies on a local, regional level.
About the REGIN Project
The Regions for Migrants & Refugees Integration – REGIN Project was created to mainstream migrant and refugee integration within social cohesion policies at regional level, by building a common framework to facilitate, guide and improve the performance of regions through innovative tools.
The project, co-funded by the European Union (DG HOME) under the European Union’s Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).
What was MPG’s role in the project?
MPG is part of a consortium of 10 partners, led by Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR). In addition to creating the self-assessment handbook, MPG also recently published the REGIN comparative report, revealing how regions throughout the EU vary in their migrant integration policies.
As a founding organisation involved in the creation of the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) and the National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM), MPG brings its knowledge of integration policies to REGIN, applying such knowledge to a sub-national, regional level.
