The Directorate General for Migration announces grants for the development of programs:
- promoting real and effective conditions for freedom and equality for immigrants;
- removing obstacles that prevent or hinder their participation in political, economic, cultural or social life.
In this context, programs that take into account the specific characteristics and needs of women, youth, children, elderly, illiterate or disabled persons, or victims of torture, trafficking and smuggling will be prioritized.

This call will fund projects that are included within the following activities:
