should be consulted by government agencies
- NGOs are doing the work different public administrations should do
- NGOs should be more involved in respect to the formulation of immigration policies
- It´s not possible that all Spanish NGOs play an important role in respect to the formulation of regularisation
policy
- Overall aim: promote the conditions for social and economic inclusion of undocumented migrant workers and
their families,
- through: direct support to undocumented migrant workers;
lobbying at national and international level also by cooperating with other organisations;
- research.
- awareness raising and representation of the interests of undocumented migrant workers
- Own role/position is a sensitive issues, since irregular migration is a highly contested issue also within the
Church; - General role. Involvement of NGOs by government agencies often done as an alibi, not a dialogue, but
a monologue.
- Only little influence due to neglect of regularisation as a policy option on the one hand and due to a lack of
involvement of NGOs.
- NGOs should be involved in formulation and evaluation of regularisation policies
- own lobbying regarding regularisation has not had a large impact, due to refusal of EU to address the issue of
regularisation
- NGOs are often the only actors providing services to undocumented migrants and hence have a major role to
play
- NGOs are well placed to provide inputs in policy debates and to monitor the effective and fair implementation
of policies
