| Please provide a description of the pledge | Portugal reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the reception and integration of migrants by improving public service responses at the local level and promoting integrated governance solutions. To this end, in 2021, Portugal launched the Rede Integrar Valoriza (Integrating Adds Value Network), a pilot project that seeks to decentralise national public policy measures through a network of public and private entities committed to developing and delivering strategies to improve migrants access to social, education, labour, health, and housing services and solutions. Until now, 47 municipalities have joined the Rede Integrar Valoriza, with 11 others showing interest in signing up. Portugal pledges to support the implementation, by local actors, of at least one of following initiatives in each of the participating municipalities: a) a Local Support Centre for the Integration of Migrants (CLAIM); b) a Municipal Plan for the Integration of Migrants (PMIM); c) a Local Housing Strategy which, in its implementation, includes housing needs and, more specifically, indicates housing prospects for immigrant people; d) a Portuguese as a Host language course; e) Public, private, and cooperative education establishments joining the Network of Schools for Intercultural Education (REEI) or develop initiatives to promote intercultural education; g) a Cultural-Education Municipal Strategic Plan. Portugal further commits to setting up an integrated governance framework of this pilot project, which will include a Monitoring Group (comprised of the public sector organizations and the different municipalities, which will meet quarterly), 7 Regional Working Groups and 4 Thematic Working Groups, linked to each of the dimensions of the project: a) Decentralization, communication and proximity; b) Training, qualification and employment; c) Housing; d) Applied research. |
