This week on the International Migrants Day (18th December) Eurodiaconia sent a press release calling for an integrated approach to migration by strengthening the link between social inclusion and anti-poverty strategies and the wider issues of migration management. In particular we stressed the need for closer collaboration at EU level between different Directorates, particularly DGs Justice, Home Affairs and Employment and Social Affairs. Eurodiaconia also called on the EU and its Member States to invest in comprehensive integration policies and include migrants in the development of social investment strategies, including investment in social and health care services which are vital for the integration of migrants.
