Integration policy in Flanders

- Flemish Parliament Act on “Civic Integration” - Integratie (2nd phase of integration):
= mainly an inclusive policy, however, categorial when necessary - Flemish Parliament Act on Integration

• Focus on the entire society, with special attention to the targetgroup (1st and 2nd generation + social deprivation factors)
• 3 main goalsParticipation,Accesibility of organisations and services,Sociale cohesion.
• Importance of local authorities

Local integration policy
• Financing (granting of a subsidy) of local authorities willing to implement a proactive integration policy
• Financing based on:Request of the local authority (no obligation),Conditions: minimal presence of the target group +
problems of social deprivationAgreement between the Flemish authority and the local
authority (goals, actions, indicators)
→ current situation: 46 local authorities have an agreement

Local integration monitor
• Goal:To develop a local integration policy based upon a set of
reliable and valid indicatorsNot an instrument to evaluate policy
• Selection of indicators:Environmental indicators, no process indicatorsOnly quantitative, no qualitative indicatorsCollection of data from flemish or federal databases, not
at local level (avoiding extra workload for the local government)
