Migrant and Refugee Fund
The Migrant and Refugee Fund is a trust fund set up by the CEB to help its member states address the challenges linked to migrants and refugees.
Accommodation and integration
The Migrant and Refugee Fund (MRF), established in October 2015, supports CEB member states in accommodating migrants and refugees who arrive on their territory. The Fund also supports CEB member states in integrating this population. All projects funded by the MRF must comply with the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Social Charter.
Strong support from the international community
At end-2017, twenty-one CEB member states have contributed to the MRF. In addition, the European Investment Bank and the CEB both provided funding to the MRF. In total, funds raised exceed € 25 million. Among CEB member states, the largest contributors are Germany, France and Italy. Thanks to the support of these donors, the CEB has allocated almost € 22 million in grants in favor of projects benefitting migrants and refugees.Contributions
