The European Programme for Integration and Migration (EPIM) is seeking proposals for “Protection of Children and Youth on the move in Europe” with an aim to support civil society organisations’ advocacy towards EU institutions to ensure that children’s rights are reflected in the EU’s migration policy and funding priorities.
The EPIM provides the platform for a sub-fund which supports projects run by civil society organisations that address the provision of long-term prospects and protection of children and youth in the migration context.
EPIM is a collaborative funding initiative of foundations from a variety of countries that supports civil society organisations’ work on migration and integration. It is hosted by the Network of European Foundations (NEF).
Objectives:
– The level of protection and access to rights and services is not determined by the formal legal status of the child or youth.
– A protection chain is completed for children and youth from the country of origin, on the route to and at the point of arrival in Europe.
– Family unity is protected and quality of care is ensured to provide incentives for unaccompanied and separated children and youth to stay in protected spaces.
EU funding is allocated to encourage the provision of long-term perspectives for children and youth in Europe.
The duration of the project begins at a time after the signing of the project contract at a time agreed upon with EPIM and ends no later than 24 months later.
