A comprehensive network of migrant integration centres has emerged in Poland, following on from the arrival of a large number of people displaced from Ukraine. These centres are run by various institutions and organisations, including governmental, non-governmental and international entities.

An integration centre pilot programme commissioned by the Ministry of Family and Social Policy was launched in 2021, before the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine. Six centres, known as Foreigners’ Integration Centres (Centra Integracji Cudzoziemców, CIC), have been established in 2 provinces: 1 in Opolskie and 5 in Wielkopolskie. They offer comprehensive integration support, including adaptation and Polish language courses. They have been a success, and planning is now underway to establish more centres in all 16 Polish provinces. This will be co-financed by the European Commission's Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and/or the European Social Fund.

A similar, larger network of integration centres is run by NGO Caritas. These are called Migrant and Refugee Assistance Centres (Centra Pomocy Migrantom i Uchodźcom) and are located in 28 Polish cities and towns. All these centres offer the same set of services: vocational guidance, translation of documents, Polish language courses, legal counselling, psychological support, integration activities (including for the elderly), financial and material support, childcare, and cooperation with other institutions dealing with immigrant integration. In addition, the centres have mobile outreach teams supporting people living in smaller towns or villages and those who are disabled or less mobile.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has also established 7 similar centres, simply named Integration Centres (Centra Integracji). These are situated in major cities hosting people displaced from Ukraine, such as Warsaw, Gdansk, Wroclaw, Walbrzych, Krakow, Rzeszow, and Piaseczno. They were initially set up to meet the basic needs of those arriving from Ukraine, and in the future will aim to be better embedded within local communities in order to counteract the potential emergence of tensions between migrants and locals.
