Funding in this focus area seeks to ameliorate the situation of undocumented migrants across Europe, with a particular focus on their ability to access fundamental rights, services and justice. This is an area where funding is scarce, and governments are reluctant to invest in a group in society which they are loathe to recognise formally. EPIM has adopted a broad definition of undocumented migrants to ensure that those who fall between traditional funding strands – rejected asylum seekers or those at risk of becoming undocumented – can still benefit from the grantees’ work.
