The Checklist for public action to migrant integration at the local level applied to the city of Rome

Chapter 1 gives a description of the actions, policy framework and governance mechanisms for migrants and refugees inclusion in Rome. The chapter is structured following the Checklist for public action to migrant integration at the local level, as included in the Synthesis Report “Working Together for Local Integration of Migrants and Refugees” (OECD, 2018). The checklist comprises a list of 12 key evidence-based objectives that can be used by policy makers and practitioners in the development and implementation of migrant integration programmes, at local, regional, national and international levels. This checklist highlights for the first-time a common framework to describe a holistic territorial approach to inclusion across contexts that have very different institutional and socio-economic characteristics. This innovative tool has been elaborated by the OECD as part of the larger study on supported by the European Commission, Directorate General for regional and urban policies.
