EU-FRANK Project
The concluded EU-FRANK project, which stands for European Union Action on Facilitating Resettlement and Refugee Admission through New Knowledge, aimed at strengthening the capacity of national governments to provide international protection to refugees through resettlement.
This project, in which MPI Europe and a range of partner organisations were involved, built on the assumption that there is much to learn by exchanging experiences and working together with colleagues from other states, learning from and adapting best practices that exist elsewhere.
The reports published by MPI Europe as part of the EU-FRANK project are collected here.
