Description

The project will improve the effectiveness and quality of the appeals against the negative decisions issued by the Asylum Service on claims for international protection. The improvements of the appeals procedures will be achieved through capacity-building measures, increased staffing, organizational changes and improved infrastructure, technical systems and equipment.

The Norwegian Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) will support the project by providing experiences and expertise.

The project will include the following main activities:

  • Staffing and operation of appeals committees to examine back-log of asylum cases;
  • Establishing, staffing and technical equipment for operating a Country of Origin (CoI) unit;
  • Creation and maintenance of a website for the Appeals Authority;
  • Capacity-building of staff through e.g. establishing training complimentary to training provided by other organisations and study visits;
  • Introduction of case management systems, as Qlik Sense;
  • Establishing and equipping the library for the Appeals Authority.
