Organising flexible housing in the context of international protection
This inform aims to present information that can support policy makers to better organise their respective reception systems, in a flexible manner, whilst anticipating further changing inflows in the future.

Coherent return and reintegration assitance
This inform presents an overview of the overall governance structures and linkages in the existing return and reintegration processes within EMN Member and Observer Countries in order to identify possible connections and/or similarities.
The main focus of the inform is on coherence, which it defines as follows: a clear relationship between different stakeholders and between different stages of return and reintegration projects/activities at national level, in the context of an overall national strategic framework for effective return policies. Elements in this framework include funding, a mechanism to refer returnees to return and reintegration programmes, and structured coordination between stakeholders at national level.
Migration and development cooperation
The migration-development nexus is increasingly important at EU and international level, yet a general mapping of national policies and programmes/initiatives remains largely absent. This inform presents an overview of national initiatives in EMN Member Countries and Serbia implementing the migration-development nexus:

The main sources of funding used; target groups and cooperation with different partners; and how results and impacts are measured.
