Italy
Country Overview
 |
Situated at Europe’s southern shores, Italy is the primary port of arrival for refugees and migrants aiming to reach Europe via the Central Mediterranean Sea route. Since the early 2000s, hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants had made the dangerous crossing, with many fleeing dire humanitarian conditions in Libya or transiting through Tunisia. Among them were unaccompanied and separated children, who faced particular challenges both during the journey and upon arrival in Italy.
While the humanitarian needs of arriving individuals were severe, information on their needs, experiences en route and prospects for their future remained scarce. This lack of understanding meant that policy responses to people moving in mixed migration flows towards and within Italy were hindered by a lack of up-to-date information, risking an ineffective response to individuals’ needs and rights.
IMPACT had been present in Italy through REACH since 2016, providing local response actors and policymakers with up-to-date data and analysis on migration profiles, conditions and trends towards Italy.
