Focal Point:

Socioeconomic integration is a strategic thematic area that promotes the labour, education, and financial inclusion of refugees and migrants. It recognizes their contribution to the sustainable development of host communities and fosters opportunities for employment, entrepreneurship, and social cohesion.

It also drives policies that combat xenophobia and discrimination, strengthening intercultural coexistence and promoting human mobility as a driver of innovation and shared growth. Socioeconomic integration also supports access to training programmes, financial services, and entrepreneurship initiatives that benefit both refugees and migrants and receiving communities.
