Summary

The aim of the 24-month project is to support the Polish migration and asylum management system to address the needs of vulnerable migrants. The project has complementary objectives as part of a comprehensive structure: On the one hand, through thematic trainings, workshops, and network building, it aims to strengthen institutional capacities and improve skills among target persons working with vulnerable migrants, as well as to improve existing solutions through institutional and international cooperation, policy analysis and publications, and exchange of good practices. On the other hand, the project aims to improve the situation of vulnerable migrants through additional services and direct assistance: providing legal, psychological, and case management services free of charge supporting vulnerable migrants who apply for refugee status in Poland or are in return proceedings (target beneficiaries of the project have been expanded to include people fleeing from the war in Ukraine).
The partnership consists of ICMPD, key institutions for migration and asylum management, NGOs, and Norwegian project participants. The programme operator in Poland is the Ministry of the Interior and Administration (Department of European Funds) and the European Projects Implementation Centre.
