Call content
short description
In line with the Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion, the support provided under this priority will include local and migrant communities in the design and implementation of integration policies at the local level, facilitating integration of migrants in host communities thanks to volunteering projects, mentoring and other type pairing system like so called “buddy schemes”.
Call objectives
The objective of the topic is to help develop and implement local integration strategies as well as increasing the effectiveness of migrants’ inclusion at regional and local level.
Proposals that include the design of concrete good practices and their dissemination through transnational cooperation between relevant stakeholders in the development and implementation of local integration strategies will be considered particularly relevant.
Expected effects and impacts
Proposals should include one or more of the following activities (non-exhaustive list):
- design and implementation of local integration strategies with concrete objectives (e.g. speeding up access to services, help with finding employment etc.);
- trainings, including language learning and vocational training, workshops and mutual learning activities on good practice on specific integration topics;
- volunteering, “buddying” and mentoring activities with concrete objectives (e.g. help with education/studies, language learning, finding employment or launching self-employment activities etc.);
- training of cultural mediators or interpreters who will accompany migrants through the integration process;
- creation of know-how and best practices on integration with concrete objectives that will be upscaled and disseminated through specific activities (to be elaborated in the proposals);
- creation of rural partnerships that will work on concrete outcomes (to be defined in the proposals) to ensure inclusion and integration of migrants in rural areas.

Expected results
Proposals should focus on contributing to the achievement of one or several of the following outcomes:
- faster inclusion of migrants, making it more effective and with less administrative burden;
- improved engagement and participation of migrants involved in the project at the local level;
- scalable/replicable good practices and a methodology for the development and implementation of local integration initiatives and strategies that can inspire other local actors across the EU, where possible also taking into account migrants with specific needs;
- improved cross-border cooperation between authorities and other stakeholders involved in issuing scalable/replicable good practices and a methodology for the development and implementation of local integration strategies;
- improved cooperation between national and local authorities;
- enhanced visibility of the views and opinions of migrants associations and migrants at national, regional and local level.

eligible entities
Education and training institution, International organization, Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) / Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Other, Private institution, incl. private company (private for profit), Public Body (national, regional and local; incl. EGTCs), Research Institution incl. University, Small and medium-sized enterprise (SME)
Mandatory partnership
Yes
Project Partnership
Proposals must be submitted by:
- minimum five applicants (beneficiaries; not affiliated entities) from five different participating Member States
- the following entities can NOT apply as coordinator:
- profit making entities
- International Organisations
In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must:
- be legal entities (public or private bodies)
- be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs)), excluding Denmark , countries associated to the AMIF or countries which are in ongoing negotiations for an association agreement and where the agreement enters into force before grant signature
Specific cases:
- Natural persons are NOT eligible (with the exception of selfemployed persons, i.e. sole traders, where the company does not have legal personality separate from that of the natural person).
- International organisations are eligible and can be coordinators. International organisations can participate as co-beneficiaries regardless of their geographical location. As a result, their geographical location is irrelevant and in analogy, being based in an eligible country cannot be taken into consideration in calculating the minimum of countries within a partnership. The rules on eligible countries do not apply to them.
- Entities which do not have legal personality under their national law may exceptionally participate, provided that their representatives have the capacity to undertake legal obligations on their behalf, and offer guarantees for the protection of the EU financial interests equivalent to that offered by legal persons.
- EU bodies (with the exception of the European Commission Joint Research Centre) can NOT be part of the consortium.
- Entities composed of members may participate as ‘sole beneficiaries’ or ‘beneficiaries without legal personality'. Please note that if the action will be implemented by the members, they should also participate (either as beneficiaries or as affiliated entities, otherwise their costs will NOT be eligible).
other eligibility criteria
Financial support to third parties is not allowed.
