Snapshots from the EU Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and the EU Internal Security Fund

The EU funds provide financial contributions for strengthening the area of freedom, security and justice and for developing the common EU policy on asylum and immigration based on solidarity. The funds run for a period of 7 years (2014-2020) and are designed to be flexible and responsive to both the common and differing challenges and opportunities faced by Member States in relation to migration and security. There follows a selection of projects being implemented by EU Member States and Associated States under the Migration and Security Funds of the EU. The Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) promotes the efficient management of migration flows and the implementation, strengthening and development of a common EU approach to asylum and immigration. The Internal Security Fund (ISF) provides EU financial support to implement law enforcement cooperation under the internal security strategy and the management of the Union's external borders. The ISF is composed of two instruments covering the areas of borders and visa (ISF Borders and Visa) and police cooperation, preventing and combating crime, and crisis management (ISF Police).
