Migration Policy Group has published new policy brief linking NIEM results to the EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion (2021-2027)

The brief will be presented on a Webinar on the 17th of September 2021 between 15:00 and 16:30 (CET)

In the framework of the National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) project, Migration Policy Group has drawn up a policy brief which links the 2019 NIEM results from 14 Member States with the EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion (2021-2027). 

Specifically, it explores to what extent integration policies for beneficiaries of international protection are in line with the principles, values, and objectives of the EU Action Plan.

To launch the policy brief, Migration Policy Group (Belgium) and Institute of Public Affairs (Poland) are organising a webinar on the 17th of September 2021 between 15:00 and 16:30 (CET). 

About the webinar

Topic
“Europe’s patchwork of refugee integration policies: The EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion as an instrument to address deficiencies.”

Date
The 17th of September 2021 between 15:00 and 16:30 (CET). 

Additional information
In this webinar, key takeaways from the policy brief will be presented, followed by a discussion with the European Commission and NIEM partners from Italy, Lithuania, Romania and Sweden about the challenges and opportunities surrounding refugee integration in Europe. The webinar will be an opportunity to learn about the refugee integration policies of selected NIEM countries and to discuss the added value of the EU Action Plan. 

Implications of the policy brief

●    Policymakers and refugee integration stakeholders can use NIEM data to identify areas where the EU Action Plan and its concrete goals can help to address policy gaps and needs;
●    NIEM can be used as a tool to assess the achievement of the Action Plan objectives in the coming years;
●    The brief also presents specific recommendations to the European Commission and Member States about how to foster the implementation of the Action Plan and/or make it more effective in their integration policies.
