The Migrant Integration Strategy

CIB, Crosscare, Doras, MRCI, Nasc and the UNHCR recommended the development and implementation of a new National Migrant Integration Strategy along with an action plan for implementation. The MRCI suggested that the new strategy should be “target-driven and can easily describe and measure progress”. The UNHCR urged the DCEDIY to address the exclusion of asylum seekers (prior to recognition of status) from the previous Migrant Integration Strategy when developing the new strategy. DFA referenced the contribution of ‘development education’ to the ‘roll out of the Migrant Integration Policy’.
