EMN Inform: Prospects for displaced persons in non-EU first reception and transit countries

This inform provides an overview of the strategies and initiatives put in place by the EMN Member Countries to enhance the prospects of displaced populations in non-EU first reception and transit countries. It also identifies good practices that could serve as a starting point to develop or improve sustainable support initiatives. Enhancing the prospects of displaced populations in non-EU first reception and transit countries is high on the agenda of EU-policy makers. The aims are manifold: from reducing the root causes of (onward) irregular/ forced migration, to promoting the dignity, self-reliance and human rights of forcibly displaced persons and host communities.

The scope of the inform covers current national strategies and policies addressing the mid-term and long-term (socioeconomic) needs of displaced populations, as well as specific programmes and initiatives implemented or funded in the framework of EMN Member Countries’ cooperation with non-EU first reception and transit countries. The analysis was prepared on the basis of contributions from 20 EMN Member Countries. Inform can be found HERE.
