The
OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE) is launching two papers on the “Multi-level governance for migrant integration".
This webinar will bring together policymakers from Canada, France and Germany to discuss good practices used by governments to bridge multi-level co-ordination gaps in the integration of migrants.
The discussion will benefit from perspectives from sub-national governments and non-governmental organisations.
This event is supported by the
European Commission (DG REGIO ) and the
European Committee of the Regions (CoR) and the
French Government.
