Project Overview

Migration is a global phenomenon affecting all times and communities in terms of social, economic and political context. Cyprus, as well as other EU Member States, has shown an increased migration stream where almost 10% of its total population are Third Country Nationals (TCNs). Although many efforts have been made for the integration of TCNs in the Cypriot context, individuals still find it difficult to access information relevant to employment, education, economy and health care services.

Within this framework, the consulting firm INNOVADE in collaboration with the international research centre CARDET received support for the action “Upgrade of the guide with general information about Cyprus” (A1, – CY/2016/AMIF/SO2.NO1.1.1). The project is co-funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (90%) and the Republic of Cyprus (10%).

The Guide includes information about Cyprus, in an effort to help to the TCNs integration process, as well as to facilitate their installation, their employment and their social integration, while benefiting the local community and economy.

The updated version of the Guide which will facilitate installation and integration of TCNs will be printed in 13000 copies and it will be available in 6 languages: English, Sri Lankans (Sinhala and Tamil), Russian, Arabic and Filipino.
