Expert Conference on Multistakeholder models in the context of reception of international protection applicants
The Expert Conference, that is jointly hosted by Belgium’s Federal Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (Fedasil), and the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA), in cooperation with the Migration Policy Institute Europe (MPI Europe), aims to explore multi-stakeholder strategies in three specific areas: reception, information provision, and pre-integration.
What
The Conference will address the following three topics:
- Multistakeholder Models for Providing Reception Conditions: the conference will highlight the role of multi-stakeholder cooperation to strengthen reception capacity, create a supportive environment for hosting applicants within local communities, and organize diverse reception facilities tailored to different needs and profiles.
- Multistakeholder Models for Information Provision: the conference will explore various models implemented by Member States – in collaboration with various stakeholders – to fulfil their legal responsibility for offering clear information throughout the application process as well as to respond to the communication and information needs of applicants. It will discuss the impact of centralised versus decentralised approaches through mobile teams instead of traditional information desks and explore innovative methods of information provision.
- Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships for Pre-Integration: the conference will explore multi-stakeholder partnerships to foster pre-integration, with a particular focus on initiatives to promote labour market integration and participation in society. It will also explore how to foster housing access for individuals who have obtained a positive decision.
