Supporting Pre-Integration Governance (SPRING) is a co-funded EU project under the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) dedicated to support Third-Country Nationals (TCNs) in their early integration process. The aim is to ensure the effective integration and inclusion of TCNs in Maltese society. The strategic vision of this project is Malta’s Integration Strategy and Action Plan (2025-2030) – a bold approach to successful integration governance. SPRING will play a critical role in the implementation of the Strategy’s main objective which is to mainstream and improve integration-related services and policies to create and foster more cohesive communities and meet the country’s and migrant’s socio-economic needs. The project’s activities are aimed at:

1. Building the capacity of integration-related service providers and hence improving service provision;
2. The continued and improved provision and development of Malta’s National Integration Programme – I Belong;
3. Providing TCNs with up-to-date, reliable and accessible information on the important aspects of integration; and
4. Promoting integration as a two-way process through fostering social dialogue and positive interactions between the host community and TCNs living in Malta to build socially cohesive communities.

Cumulatively, these activities will ensure that integration is a win-win process, whereby TCNs can fully participate in and contribute to society
