Three European stories to be told…
Story of Bologna-Budapest Transfer
Tea Garadnay and Massimo Peron
Migrants’situation in Budapest – differences from other EU contexts
Demographical data on migration:• Foreigners with residence permit: ~74.000 (4,3% of total
pop.) – lower than other EU cities• Nationalities: Hungarians background from neighbouring
countries - 80% of migrants• Age and gender structure: younger, more men higher
educated than other EU cities• Labour market situation: better than the average of
population, better than in other EU cities
Needs of authorities and NGOs working on migrant issues
• Cooperation with each other, coordinatetd teamwork – in protocols on transfering cases
• Training, supervision
Other issue to be kept into account:Election at the begining of the project influenced the process and
results
Following the Bologna experiences…
cooperation between public and private sector is based on formal agreements, coordinated teamwork and operational objectives to be
achieved and the means to be adopted
Interesting points and added value of Bologna model for Budapest
• Cooperation and agreements between private and public sector on social issues
• Planning and management of projects for Roma inclusion
• Development of projects to prevent and contrast discrimination against migrant and Roma people, supporting their social inclusion (e.g. Antenna System)
Weaknesses, threats and problems in the process (1)
LG changed just 3 days before the 1st workshop: nobody saw the goals and the system of the new LG, nobody represented the LG on the workshop
NGOs didn’t trust enough in LG and they were afraid that BPE tried to get their business and their budget
Migrants weren’t motivated enough to join the local project, we think they couldn’t really see, what could be their prompt and future profit on it.
Weaknesses, threats and problems in the process (2)
Probably problems in continuing: Fear that LG’s political viewpoints overwrite NGOs professional
viewpoints (threat):
Following Bologna experiences…
different roles and tasks shared out public and private organisations (named horizontal subsidiarity) About Public sector: programs, coordination, standard definition of
services, funds, direct management, monitoring and evaluation About Private-No Profit sector: identification of needs, cooperation with
public sector to define policy, planning and management of services
The transferring process can’t be concluded during the life cycle of the project, so we are afraid that the efforts could disappear after it (threat)
NGOs trust could be a weakness
How we could solve these problems?• Interim meeting between 1st and 2nd ws: reasons for the LG – why it could be
good for them
• On 2nd ws we got some points of the probable cooperation, after having written it down, and persuaded NGOs one by one to sign it – for building trust (formal/political agreements, practical formal/informal cooperation)
• Trying to involve migrants in our training on equal opportunity
• Trying to interview migrants on discrimination: stories and information on their needs
• Invited10 persons in last two activities, but it wasn’t succesfull (none of them came)
• Asked NGOs what to do with migrants, how to motivate them (involving them in the project with concrete results)
• Involving representative of LG to this seminar • Working with NGOs on concrete project plans till 4th ws in January (after
project life cycle)
Results 1/2The suggestion – base of the cooperation between LG and NGO
Points: Setting up a consultation board involving: NGO, LG, State Migrant
Office, suppliers of social, helathcare and education system Working on financial models, common projects, cooperation
agreements and chanels of information exchanging Involving migrant persons in this board and into the civil workshops of
the Municipality (see above) Raising awareness of suppliers of the capital and giving them
information on migrant issues even for helping them to work with migrants
Considering migrants as a tagret group in the local actionplan of the capital for equal opportunities
Undersigned by 8 NGO and Budapest Chance NLtd.
Results 2/2Probable outcomes till the end of the project and after
Agreement/next steps: Before January NGOs will be working out a plan of a common project
on social housing, employment and awareness campaigns Searching for calls and later to apply with the first common project To keep this issue on the table of the LG Ask the LG join in this project and ensure the retention what need
