Involvement of NGOs by government agencies often done as an alibi, not a dialogue, but a monologue. - Only little influence due to neglect of regularisation as a policy option on the one hand and due to a lack of involvement of NGOs. - NGOs should be involved in formulation and evaluation of regularisation policies - own lobbying regarding regularisation has not had a large impact, due to refusal of EU to address the issue of regularisation - NGOs are often the only actors providing services to undocumented migrants and hence have a major role to play - NGOs are well placed to provide inputs in policy debates and to monitor the effective and fair implementation of policies 79
