In August 2015 the European Commission approved 23 multiannual national programmes under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and the Internal Security Fund (ISF). The total funding for the agreed programmes was approximately €2.4 billion for the period 2014-2020. The AMIF funding supports national efforts to improve reception capacities, ensure that asylum procedures are in line with Union standards, integrate migrants at local and regional levels and increase the effectiveness of return programmes. Funding from ISF complements national efforts to improve Member States' border management and surveillance. 22 national programmes were already approved in March 2015, and an additional 13 programmes were due to be approved later during the year. |
