European Fund for Return 2008 – 2013
Public protocol. n° 7973 of 02/07/2014
GEA has been appointed as territorial coordinator and referent for the national help desk of Italian network for assisted voluntary return of foreign citizens, providing information, phone call/web orientations, in coordination with local “antenna” and territorial offices of the government.
In 5 years of interventions, RIRVA has built a national “REFERRAL SYSTEM” on voluntary return, able to inform, train and give advice to operators involved in the realization of the measure, supporting migrants requests with significant results (last year: over 60.000 inter-institutional operators involved in the measure, over 1200 calls to the help desk; 1300 participants at the 18 territorial awareness sessions; over 70% of the requests were carried out by network RIRVA)
With the resources made available by the return fund it was also possible to include in the territorial network 14 regional/supra-regional focal points, which helped to increase the impact and the efficacy on the local level, advising through migrants and operators involved in the measure implementation.
