Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (2021-2027)
Summary
The Fund aims to further boost national capacities and improve procedures for migration management, as well as to enhance solidarity and responsibility sharing between Member States, in particular through emergency assistance and the relocation mechanism.
Programme Description
AMIF will contribute to the achievement of four specific objectives:
- to strengthen and develop all aspects of the common European asylum system, including its external dimension
- to support legal migration to the Member States, including by contributing to the integration of third-country nationals
- to contribute to countering irregular migration and ensuring effectiveness of return and readmission in third countries
- to enhance solidarity and responsibility sharing between the Member States, in particular towards those most affected by migration and asylum challenges
Actions funded through AMIF can include a wide range of initiatives, such as:
- providing support and services consistent with the status and the needs of the person concerned, in particular vulnerable groups
- supporting resettlement, humanitarian admission and transfers of applicants for and beneficiaries of international protection
- supporting the development and implementation of policies promoting legal migration, such as the development of mobility schemes to the EU and raising awareness of the appropriate legal channels for immigration
- supporting integration measures tailored to the needs of third-country nationals and early integration programmes focusing on education, language and other training (such as civic orientation courses and professional guidance) to prepare their active participation in and their acceptance by the receiving society
- supporting infrastructures for the reception of third country nationals, including the possible joint use of such facilities by more than one Member State
- supporting an integrated and coordinated approach to return management at the EU and Member States’ level, development of capacities for effective and sustainable return and reducing incentives for irregular migration
- cooperating with third countries on asylum, legal migration and countering irregular migration and on effective return and readmission for the purpose of managing migration
