Asylum Matters - Capacity Building of Romanian Immigration Office (RIO)

Staff of RIO Asylum seekers and refugees

Through an evaluation assessment and review of procedures, RIO staff will gain improved policies and capacities in asylum procedures through two trainings (see logframe for details). The project will increase knowledge and implementation of skills,
techniques and best practice used by RIO to address the asylum seeker process in Romania. To ensure reaching EU standards and obligations towards asylum seekers as Romania gains Schengen
accession, the project will also improve the accommodation capacity and facilities of two Regional Reception Centres.
