- Summary
- The overall purpose of the study was to provide practical guidance to Member States1 with regards to the development and implementation of a coherent reintegration policy and sustainable return. Specifically, the focus has been on ‘interlinking' pre-departure reintegration measures with post-arrival reintegration measures. A reintegration policy is coherent when the strategies and actions to achieve reintegration do not conflict with the objectives of reintegration. That is to say, if reintegration objectives are to promote sustainable return then a coherent reintegration policy should implement activities that favour and promote a sustainable return. Sustainable return can have several definitions, but it generally implies the absence of re-migration after return because the returnee is fully integrated socially and economically in the home community. The study adopted a largely qualitative approach - gathering documentation and feedback from key stakeholders and other sources around current reintegration practices. The information provided in this study draws on 31 comparative country profiles and 17 case studies.
