What

On 19 November 2024, the European Commission opened a call for proposals for EU action grants in the field of prevention of irregular migration and countering migrant smuggling under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF). The general objective of this call for proposals is to enhance the prevention of irregular migration in countries of origin and transit and to undermine the business models of migrant smugglers by reducing the demand for their services. This should be achieved by raising awareness about the risks of irregular migration and migrant smuggling in key countries of origin and transit, informing potential migrants about available legal pathways to Europe, and highlighting alternative economic opportunities in their home countries.

Proposals must be submitted by a minimum of three applicants from three different participating EU Member States. Eligible participants are public and private bodies (non-profit) as well as international organisations. Projects must have a duration of 36 months and the EU grant amount between EUR 1.25 and 2.5 million.

When

All proposals must be submitted by 1 April 2025, 17:00:00 CET (Brussels).

Where

On the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.
