The project “Promoting legal migration to the EU: An analysis of Migrant Resource Centres and implications for Sweden” is funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF), an initiative supporting EU member states in the work of implementing common asylum and migration policies. The aim of the one-year project is to deepen and nuance the understanding of how information on legal migration is designed and implemented in three different countries, and what opportunities and obstacles shape this work in practice.
The project focuses on organisations that provide information and counselling to potential migrants in third countries. The analysis is based on a comparison of three national contexts, Iraq, Uzbekistan and Pakistan, and examines how organisational, political and local conditions influence the design of information provision on legal migration.
Delmi’s new project will contribute to new empirical knowledge to a field that is extremely important. There are nearly 300 legal migration routes to the EU. That information should be conveyed in a way that benefits the individual who is considering migrating, benefits the country they may be migrating from, and benefits countries within the EU with labor shortages to which they may be migrating.
