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). The Baseline assessment is prepared as a deliverable of the project EMV-LII – Empowering Migrant Voices for Local Integration and Inclusion (2024-2027).
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 authority’s 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 been presented as well. 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.
