  In response to the increased refugee arrivals into Europe, the IRC established the program initially in Greece, which was expanded with programs in Serbia and wider Balkans and with programs in Germany. Following a first assessment conducted in January 2017 in Italy and another one in July 2017, several critical protection gaps were identified within assistance provided to refugees in migrants in Italy: mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), assistance to unaccompanied children, information provision and legal support. The IRC is responding to these ongoing crises with a three-folded strategy including: direct support to clients; capacity building of civil society organizations; system strengthening of local processes and institutions. Actions cover the impacted regions of Lombardy, Sicily, Lazio, Piedmont, Calabria, and Friuli Venezia Giulia aiming to enhance refugees’ safety, power, education, economic empowerment and mental health – with a focus on the most vulnerable, including women and UAC.

  In response to the increased refugee arrivals into Europe, the IRC established the program initially in Greece, which was expanded with programs in Serbia and wider Balkans and with programs in Germany. Following a first assessment conducted in January 2017 in Italy and another one in July 2017, several critical protection gaps were identified within assistance provided to refugees in migrants in Italy: mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), assistance to unaccompanied children, information provision and legal support. The IRC is responding to these ongoing crises with a three-folded strategy including: direct support to clients; capacity building of civil society organizations; system strengthening of local processes and institutions. Actions cover the impacted regions of Lombardy, Sicily, Lazio, Piedmont, Calabria, and Friuli Venezia Giulia aiming to enhance refugees’ safety, power, education, economic empowerment and mental health – with a focus on the most vulnerable, including women and UAC.
