The Capacity Building Toolkit is a practical resource designed for CSO staff and members of grassroots initiatives working with third-country nationals residing in their country.
AccessIN project
Although the social inclusion of third-country nationals (hereafter TCNs) has been a key priority for the EU and its Member States, persistent gaps in their access to basic services demonstrate that additional actions are needed to support the integration of the third-country nationals concerned. AccessIN, or Social Inclusion and Access to Basic Services of Third-Country Nationals, will contribute to these ongoing efforts to tackle TCNs' social vulnerabilities by focusing on four EU Member States from different European regions: Belgium, Germany, Hungary, and Spain.
AccessIN proposes a series of activities aiming at identifying and reducing barriers to access to services via a transversal and multi-sectoral approach that covers five core policy areas: healthcare, housing, education, employment, and social assistance. In line with the EU's Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion 2021-2027, we acknowledge that ensuring inclusion for all and targeted support requires a whole-of-society approach. Our action thus responds to public authorities' interest in further improving regulations on access to basic services while working closely with first-line practitioners, civil society organizations, and migrants to enhance social inclusion.
