What we do

The network’s diverse channels offer potential beneficiaries an enhanced prospect of successful integration, appropriately setting expectations, matching them to a location with which they have a genuine connection and to a scheme which maximises their potential and thereby minimises the likelihood of secondary movement. Through structured exchange, a common set of tools and procedures and careful monitoring and evaluation, the project will embed good practice and minimum standards for all participating pathways.

With diaspora input at each stage, COMET will help to create an enabling environment for integration through common post-arrival activities promoting acceptance and cultural awareness, and capacity-building for host communities and beneficiaries.

Joint post-arrival orientation streams for beneficiaries and for hosts will foster continuing dialogue between project stakeholders. All of the above is key to inspiring expansion of existing schemes, development of new schemes and the interest of new host countries and stakeholders.

WP4 and 5, led by a European exchange and advocacy network and by an experienced research institute, will harness learning from monitoring, evaluation, practice and experience and disseminate this in an online repository of factsheets and reports produced by the network, at webinars, a closed roundtable and an in-person conference.
