  12. National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) towards participatory measurement of policy outputs • Buildingbridges and fosteringparticipation: Assumptions • Common Basic Principle 1: Integration is a dynamic, two-way process of mutual accommodation by all immigrants and residents of Member States. • Common Basic Principle 7: Frequent interaction between immigrants and Member State citizens is a fundamental mechanism for integration. Shared forums, inter-cultural dialogue, education about immigrants and immigrant cultures, and stimulating living conditions in urban environments enhance the interactions between immigrants and Member State citizens. • Common Basic Principle 9: The participation of immigrants in the democratic process and in the formulation of integration policies and measures, especially at the local level, supports their integration.

  13. National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) towards participatory measurement of policy outputs • Buildingbridges and fosteringparticipation: Overview of indicators • Expectations of mutual accommodation by beneficiaries of international protection and host society members • Awareness raising on the specific situation of beneficiaries of international protection • Coordination with regional and local authorities on social cohesion • Encouragement of voluntary initiatives to complement public policies • Number of beneficiaries of international protection receiving one-to-one mentorship • Number of legal guardians for unaccompanied minors • Support for involvement of beneficiaries of international protection in civic activities • Involvement in nationalconsultationprocesses • Involvement in local consultation processes • Funding for associations working on the socio-cultural participation of beneficiaries • Number of beneficiaries of international protection in civic activities • Number of NGOs in the country run by beneficiaries of international protection

  14. National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) towards participatory measurement of policy outputs • Buildingbridges and fosteringparticipation: Policy indicators • Expectations of mutual accommodation by beneficiaries of international protection and host society members • Does the national integration strategy on beneficiaries of international protection puts an explicit expectation/obligation on the receiving society to be actively involved in the integration of beneficiaries of international protection? • Awareness raising on the specific situation of beneficiaries of international protection • Are there any publicly funded campaigns to sensitize the host society about the situation of beneficiaries of international protection and target prejudices and perceptions among them?

  15. National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) towards participatory measurement of policy outputs • Buildingbridges and fosteringparticipation: Administrativeoutputindicators • Coordination with regional and local authorities on social cohesion • Does the state: (a)require regional and local authorities to set up strategies referring to the interaction of the receiving society with beneficiaries of international protection? (b) provide means for regional and local authorities for the implementation of these strategies (i.e. additional funding, staff trainings, platform for exchange on best practices)? • Involvement in local consultation processes • Does the state support regional and local authorities to have a permanent body to consult with beneficiaries of international protection on issues of their regional and local integration?

  16. National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) towards participatory measurement of policy outputs • Buildingbridges and fosteringparticipation: Challenges • There is limited involvement of civil society, including NGOs by the authorities in consultation and shaping policy and legal provisions towards beneficiaries of international protection in Poland. • Despite the lack of the state integration policy, there are several examples of good practice at the local level with regard to building bridges. • Major social partners, which could play a positive role, have so far had limited involvement in promoting and assisting asylum-seekers and beneficiaries of international protection in their daily life in Poland.
