Migrant integration has gained prominence on the global agenda with the advent of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda’s call to “leave no one behind”—including migrants.
Effective integration of migrants and refugees is a multidimensional issue that covers migrant’s inclusion in economic, psychological, social, linguistic, navigational, and civic spheres of a society, and as such requires holistic approach.
Migrants need to navigate unclear practical tasks in an unfamiliar environment, often with limited fluency in the language of the host community. The difference in culture, tradition, processes and way of life are factors that can limit the integration of migrants in a new country.
Integration of migrant is at the core of our services. Our integration programs are geared towards giving migrants sense of belonging and connectivity to the community. We create programs to initiate supportive relationships, meaningful cooperation and interactions among migrants and members of the host communities.
The overarching goal is to promote social inclusion, social cohesion, and social participation of migrants as individuals and as groups.
