The project supports the Italian Ministry of Labour and Social Policies in improving the multi-level and multi-stakeholders’ coordination of migrants’ integration policies.

Based on expert analysis and stakeholders’ consultation, the Ministry of Labour will be accompanied in strengthening more effective policy coordination between national and local administrations and social and economic actors.

The project is co-funded by the European Union via the Technical Support Instrument and implemented by the Council of Europe, in co-operation with the European Commission Directorate-General for Structural Reform Support (DGREFORM) and the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies of Italy.

More information about the project is also available on the European Commission's website. 

• By reviewing the existing governance mechanisms for integration policies, the project will support the establishment of a framework for stronger policy coordination and will provide recommendations for the implementation of the most suitable model of integrated service provision (one-stop-shop). Such model will facilitate services for migrants’ integration.
• The technical support is also expected to reinforce the administrative capacity of the multilevel stakeholders’ dialogue along the integration process and to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of their work in addressing migrants’ integration needs.
• Furthermore, the project will ensure better alignment and co-ordination of policy objectives and measures, synergies between the different levels of government, and optimal use of resources, including EU funds.
