The project shall support the efforts of Romania to improve the response capacity in the instance of a mass influx of migrants, with a special focus on the protection of vulnerable immigrants and unaccompanied minors. The main activities in the project will be the improvement of reception facilities by rehabilitating/rebuilding two integrated centres for migrants, modernizing PP's datacenter and IT infrastructure (including enhancing the capacity of the data processing, bandwidth and flows), implementing a platform for issuing of temporary identity documents training of staff, and exchange of expertise and lessons learned with Norwegian project partners in migrant's management and technical support.
The PDP will be supported by a Small Grant Scheme for information and awareness campaigns.
Summary of bilateral results
Collaboration between General Inspectorate for Immigration (GII) and the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) strengthened bilateral relations and fostered long-term cooperation. UDI expertise was instrumental in training GII experts and national partners in crisis management, vulnerable case identification and assistance, country of origin information utilization and the implementation of EASO training modules. Study visits and good practice exchanges in Norway provided GII experts with valuable insights into legal representation of unaccompanied minors, psychological and social work support, IT&C systems, transit centre management and migration and crisis management. Partnerships with other Norwegian entities, including the National Identity Centre, the Police Immigration Service and the ID Centre, provided specialized expertise in emergency plan development, legal representation for unaccompanied minors, document fraud detection, advanced interrogation techniques, and identifying signs of radicalization. These partnerships facilitated knowledge transfer, created expert networks and ultimately strengthened bilateral relations.
