1. Policy Context
The general objec�ve of the Asylum, Migra�on and Integra�on Fund 2014-2020 (AMIF)
is to promote the efficient management of migra�on flows and the
implementa�on, strengthening and development of a common EU approach to asylum
and immigra�on. The Fund has four specific objec�ves:
A. to strengthen and develop all aspects of the Common European Asylum System,
including its external dimension;
B. to support legal migra�on to the Member States in accordance with their economic
and social needs, such as labour market needs, while safeguarding the integrity of
the immigra�on systems of Member States, and to promote the effec�ve
integra�on of third country na�onals;
C. to enhance fair and effec�ve return strategies in the Member States which
contribute to comba�ng illegal immigra�on, with an emphasis on sustainability of
return and effec�ve re-admission in the countries of origin and transit; and
D. to enhance solidarity and responsibility sharing between the Member States, in
par�cular towards those most affected by migra�on and asylum flows, including
through prac�cal coopera�on.
2. AMIF in Ireland
Ireland’s Na�onal Programme was approved by the European Commission on 21 March
2016. The EU Funds Unit in the Department of Jus�ce and Equality has been designated
as Ireland’s Responsible Authority for the AMIF. The funding available to Ireland under
the AMIF will be used over the life�me of the Programme – the eligibility period extends
to 2022 – to support ac�ons that will help to achieve the Na�onal Objec�ves set out in
the Programme.
In 2016, a Call for Proposals was issued and 20 Projects were selected from 45
applicants. Over €4.5 million was commi�ed under this call.
The Projects selected for funding will receive 75% of the eligible project costs. The
applicant organisa�on will be required to provide the 25% matching funding necessary
for the project.
