<strong>WELDI</strong> partners work to identify key<br />
challenges and needs with regard to<br />
guaranteeing migrant rights began<br />
with the online kick-off meeting in<br />
July 2023. They continued to work<br />
together through a collaborative<br />
document, and ended with the city<br />
visits and the “ready for action” meeting<br />
in Osijek.<br />
Many of the challenges of guaranteeing<br />
access to migrant rights<br />
are related to governance. These<br />
challenges include policy coordination,<br />
in particular coordination with<br />
national government; establishing an<br />
efficient whole-of-society approach<br />
at local level and co-designing reception<br />
and integration with migrants as<br />
protagonists.<br />

There is no predominant “target<br />
group” common to all of the network<br />
cities when it comes to human rights<br />
challenges. Instead, a wide range of<br />
groups are considered vulnerable in<br />
different local contexts.<br />
Challenges to migrant rights pertain to a wide diversity of<br />
themes, sectors and potential instruments of intervention.<br />
Falling under the broad categories: governance, tools,<br />
Governance<br />
Models, concepts & philosophies<br />
How do local authorities label, brand and advertise their<br />
commitment to migrant reception, and what are the implications<br />
of such labels in forging coalitions and expressing<br />
commitment for migrant rights?<br />
and sectoral and group-specific approaches, the following<br />
themes were identified as priorities for <strong>WELDI</strong> over the<br />
next two years:<br />
Joined-up, participatory and strategic governance<br />
How can a strategic approach to reception and integration<br />
be developed, in cooperation with stakeholders and residents?<br />
How can capacity to understand migrant rights be<br />
built in all services?<br />
