Call: Transnational projects by Member States for training of experts in the area of asylum and immigration

The Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) was set up to promote the efficient management of migration flows and the implementation, strengthening and development of a common Union approach to asylum and immigration. AMIF focuses specifically on the following objectives:

• Asylum
  • strengthening and developing the Common European Asylum System by ensuring that EU legislation in this field is efficiently and uniformly applied
• Legal migration and integration
  • supporting legal migration to EU States in line with the labour market needs and promoting the effective integration of non-EU nationals
• Return
  • enhancing fair and effective return strategies, which contribute to combating irregular migration, with an emphasis on sustainability and effectiveness of the return process
• Solidarity
  • making sure that EU States which are most affected by migration and asylum flows can count on solidarity from other EU States

Description and objective of the assistance to be provided:

• Enhance solidarity by ensuring consistency and complementarity with EU humanitarian assistance, by providing additional support to address emergency situations of heavy migratory pressure in Member States or third countries, or in the event of mass influx of displaced persons
• Support ad hoc humanitarian admission programmes aimed at allowing temporary stay on the territory of a Member State in the event of an urgent humanitarian crisis in third countries.

• Map current training and learning needs of personnel dealing with asylum and reception related matters; 
• Identification of future training and learning needs within the context of continuing professional development in Member States’ national asylum and reception administrations and courts and tribunals;
• Exploring/identifying tailored solutions for induction training, relevant for personnel not having deep knowledge/skills on asylum and reception matters
