Projects in Italy

The second Swiss contribution is an investment in Europe’s security, stability and prosperity. It seeks to strengthen cohesion in Europe and to support countries that face exceptional migration challenges. The Cooperation Programme focuses on areas where the partner country has substantial needs and where Switzerland's own experience and expertise can bring added value. Support measures can be implemented in the following areas: asylum procedure, infrastructure, integration as well as voluntary return and reintegration.
