12ideas can help partners responsible for training and mentoring to timely understand participants’profile and objectives. Likewise, interview and assessment grids can help collectdata that can be used for the overall project communication or to produce policypapers on migrant entrepreneurship.1.4 Collaboration with other project partners• Share outreach responsibilities strategically across different partners. In projects that involvedifferent regions, partners are often responsible for activities taking place outsideof their own geographical area. This can result in geographical overstretch as partnershave to spend more time identifying existing networks or building new ones, ultimatelyimpacting the time and effectiveness of outreach. If possible, make sure that your geographicalscope is backed by a sound partnership or a local partner. Ensure that partnersresponsible for an area can allocate proper resources and use proper infrastructure toachieve full outreach in their territory.• Strike a balance between coherence and flexibility across different regions. Some projectsmight have similar activities taking place in different countries simultaneously or atdifferent times. To safeguard the cohesion of the project – in terms of beneficiaries andoutputs – make sure all regional partners discuss and agree upon objectives, proceduresand tools that will be used. Harmonising the different approaches can also be useful ifyou plan to gather and use data related to the selection, e.g. socioeconomic data or dataon migrants’ initial entrepreneurial skills. However, pay attention to the cultural and socioeconomicspecificities of any local context by involving the most relevant partners orstakeholders.• Design and run selection jointly with training and mentoring partners. Unless you are incharge of both selection and training/mentoring, it is critical to identify the right aspectsto screen and assess with knowledgeable actors. If your project/programme is implementedby a consortium, make sure that partners providing the training and mentoringservices are consulted at the earliest stage of the selection process. Based on their expertiseand past experience, they can help you identify important criteria to effectivelyselect the most suitable target group. Alternatively, you can rely on service providers,like individual trainers and mentors, and ask for their input. Ongoing dialogue betweenpartners can also help organise training and mentoring sessions flexibly based on howthe selection proceedsBuilding Integration ThroughEntrepreneurship
131.5 Collaboration with key external stakeholders• Seize or create both informal and formal opportunities for collaboration. Making use ofpartners’ informal networks can be time-efficient, especially if applications need to becollected over a short period. Partners may have previously worked with key stakeholderstouching upon migrant integration and entrepreneurship from different angles. However,in these cases partners may struggle to strategically identify what key stakeholderscould be associated to the project and how to build an ongoing sustainable dialogue forthe rest of the project. You should anticipate these considerations to the design phaseby mapping out key stakeholders. These can include consulates and embassies, migrantledassociations, groups of cultural mediators, churches and faith-based organisations.• Draw from rosters of beneficiaries from other projects/programmes. Partners with anexperience on migrant integration might be able to draw candidates from past projects.Likewise, liaising with other stakeholders providing services to migrant population couldhelp fostering a comprehensive approach to integration, which encompasses differentpolicy areas such as housing, education, health and employment.Building Integration ThroughEntrepreneurship
