Cohesion Policy support for migrants and refugees

Migration-related issues are primarily within the competence of the Member States but the EU can support Member States, local authorities and civil society organisations in dealing with many of the associated challenges. In the European Commission Communication on a ‘European Agenda for Migration’, Cohesion Policy is highlighted as an important funding source to support effective integration policies covering education, employment, housing and non-discrimination policies.

This Keysource provides a selection of relevant documents on Cohesion Policy and its contribution to tackle migrants-related issues, with a special look at the migration crisis EU is facing since 2015.
