Project “Partnership for Sustainable Refugee Inclusion” aims to enhance skills of refugee communities representatives, including Ukrainian for recognition of the institutional environment and access points to the decision-making system in Bulgaria.

Partners in the project are Center for Sustainable Communities Development (CSCD) and Bulgarian School of Politics “Dimitry Panitza” with the active support of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Piloting a model of  board involvement in the institutional environment  and a Roadmap for work with institutions are forthcoming. The activities of the project are located in Sofia, with the dissemination of the results through the communication channels of the partners and their partner networks up to 30 000 refugees, migrants, asylum seekers and 20 civil organizations with interest on the topic.
