The iiTRUP project aims to provide empirical evidence and to improve the understanding of the current situation in Romania regarding the access to integration-related services, as well as the understanding of the motivation of the beneficiaries of international protection (BIP) living in Romania to remain or to depart from the country.
In the dynamic of migration in and through the country many factors are to be considered, factors that can influence the decision of a BIP to remain or to leave Romania. By evaluating how the impact of a safe, lawful and welcoming environment in the hosting country can influence the decision to remain or to leave a country, the project aims to identify key protection concerns and reasons for future interventions in ensuring the effective access to social services and create a welcoming environment for BIP living in Romania.
Objectives:
- To assess the motivation to stay, to leave or to return to Romania
- To identify key aspects regarding the access to services and how it can be improved
If you are a BPI that wants to leave in Romania, that has recently moved abroad from Romania or that has returned after living abroad for a while, we kindly invite you to participate to the study by contacting us at contact@migrationcenter.ro.
