This Guide has been developed by the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) as part of its programme on migration and freedom of movement. The Guide is developed with a view to assist local authorities, with a wide audience in mind, and may be particularly useful for officials in countries that have only recently become receiving, rather than sending countries. It aims to offer an initial overview of key aspects of migrant integration relevant to local authorities to help promote knowledge and encourage further learning and improved policies and practice.
