NOTES:
Complementary pathways are safe and regulated avenues that complement
refugee resettlement and by which refugees may be admitted in a
country and have their international protection needs met while they
are able to support themselves to potentially reach a sustainable and
lasting solution. The Pact on Migration and Asylum (COM (**Apply on
the website**) **Apply on the website** final) included the goal of
widening ?complementary pathways to provide opportunities and
durable solutions for people in need of international protection?,
including those involving ?work and student programs?.
Community Sponsorship is a distinct strand of the Irish Government?s
refugee resettlement programme which seeks to support Irish community
groups to sponsor refugee families to resettle directly in their local
communities.
The EU Passworld Project is funded by the Asylum Migration and
Integration Fund.
