Description

The project will enhance the capacity of the Greek authorities to receive asylum applicants and to secure improved first line services. The project will strengthen the capacity of accommodation services for vulnerable applicants with special needs. Furthermore, the project will improve the security in reception facilities, strengthen the knowledge through capacity-building measures and secure the welfare of the staff in the reception facilities.

The project will include the following main activities:

  • Operating an open accommodation facility with the provision of specialized services targeted towards vulnerable applicants e.g. women with special needs such as female single-parented families, single women who have recently delivered their babies and women who are victims of sexual and gender-based violence;
  • Upgrade of the fire security system and safety facilities in first reception sites;
  • Capacity building of staff through training and development of an e-learning platform;
  • Provide psychosocial support to staff.
