Social Inclusion and Access to Basic Services of Third-Country Nationals: Final Report of the AccessIN Project

Although the social inclusion of third-country nationals (TCNs) has been a key priority across the EU, persistent gaps in their access to basic services demonstrate that additional actions are needed to support integration. The AccessIN project contributed to these ongoing efforts to tackle TCNs’ social vulnerabilities by focusing on four EU Member States from different parts of Europe: Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Spain. The project consisted in the implementation of a series of activities aiming at identifying and reducing barriers in access to services via a transversal and multi-sectoral approach that covered five core
policy areas: healthcare, housing, education, employment & social assistance. This report highlights the main activities and findings of the project.
