The Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) is set up for the period 2021-2027, with a total of EUR 9.88 billion.
The Fund aims to further boost national capacities and improve procedures for migration management, as well as to enhance solidarity and responsibility sharing between Member States, in particular through emergency assistance and the relocation mechanism.
AMIF will contribute to the achievement of four specific objectives:
– to strengthen and develop all aspects of the common European asylum system, including its external dimension
– to support legal migration to the Member States, including by contributing to the integration of third-country nationals
– to contribute to countering irregular migration and ensuring effectiveness of return and readmission in third countries
– to enhance solidarity and responsibility sharing between the Member States, in particular towards those most affected by migration and asylum challenges
