Generální ředitelství pro migraci a vnitřní věci (DG HOME) zveřejnilo programové priority Azylového, migračního a integračního fondu (AMIF) pro rok 2016. Mezi priority patří zejména podpora aktivního zapojení imigrantů do hostitelských společností a předodjezdová a popříjezdová integrační podpora žadatelů o mezinárodní ochranu, přesídlených či relokovaných osob. Grantová výzva na podporu těchto priorit bude zveřejněna ve čtvrtém čtvrtletí letošního roku, alokovaná částka bude 9 500 000 Eur.
