Period 2021-2027

In the period 2021-2027, FAMI supports those actions aimed at achieving the following common specific objectives:

  • OE1, Asylum: Strengthen and develop all aspects of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), including its external dimension.
  • OE2, Integration: Support legal migration to the Member States, according to their economic and social needs, and promote and contribute to the effective integration and social inclusion of third-country nationals.
  • OE3, Return: Contribute to the fight against irregular migration, improving effective, safe and dignified return and readmission, as well as contributing to and promoting effective initial reintegration in third countries.
  • OE4, Solidarity: Enhancing solidarity and the equitable sharing of responsibility between Member States, in particular those most affected by migration and asylum challenges, including through practical cooperation.

The total financial allocation of the European Union for the implementation of the Fund amounts to almost EUR 10 billion, and is divided into two large allocation blocks:

  1. National Programmes, managed by each Member State.
  2. The thematic mechanism, managed in a shared, direct or indirect way, between the Member States and the Commission.
