RAISD D3.5 Recommendations on the adoption of a TAIS-oriented approach

This document provides a Catalogue of actor-oriented recommendations for the effective implementation of the TAIS (Tailored Attention and Inclusion Strategies) oriented approaches, tailored to specific Vulnerable Groups in different Vulnerability Contexts depending on the host community or country where the TAIS has been piloted. Indeed, each TAIS was tailored to fit the local environment and address a given vulnerability context; therefore, the activities are diverse to respond to the specific needs of the vulnerable individuals:

• The Spanish TAIS consists of a training and counselling program for self-employment for Sub-Saharan women seeking international protection, whose application has been accepted, rejected or is pending.
• The Italian TAIS "ALL you can LEARN" involved Forcibly Displaced Women living and/or exposed to highly vulnerable situations and conditions, victims of human trafficking currently living in Sicily, originally from Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Comoros and Tunisia.
• The Finnish TAIS was designed in the form of two parallel pilot activities. The multilingual online forum’s target group was young asylum-seeking men with few social connections with particularly Finnish-speaking men, whereas the other was designed to develop already existing child-care services in the asylum seekers´ reception centres for families living there.
• The Hungarian TAIS had the objective was to pilot a trajectory monitoring toolbox for social workers working with refugees to recognise and assess the context of their vulnerability.
• The Turkish TAIS was designed to focus on the monitoring of social integration of vulnerable FDPs through a series of workshops to enhance the capacities and awareness for various stakeholders.
• The Jordanian TAIS aimed to provide psychological support for refugees together with online trainings about financial, legal and health awareness.
• The Lebanese TAIS promoted health awareness among Syrian refugees living in camps. The COVID-19 emergency made it necessary to combine simple awareness-raising activities with a more strategic approach via trainings focusing on social and emotional well-being.

The TAIS Recommendations have also been drafted by the national Action-Research Units (Spain, Italy, Finland, Hungary, Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon) consulting with the researchers, service providers and beneficiaries of the activities - the Forcible Displaced themselves. Their recommendations vary in scope and inclusion needs, addressing:

• World level, European and International Institutions and Agencies (EC, UNHCR, IOM).
• Country level (government, regional, local authorities and institutions).
• Host community level (ARU members/inclusion strategy implementers)
• Highly Vulnerable People among the Forcibly Displaced

Ultimately these Recommendations support the validation of existing practices and provide rationales for the improvement in future implementations of such strategies regarding the care of vulnerable groups: WHY ‘Needs and problem identification’, WHAT ‘needs to be improved or changed’, HOW ‘can it be improved?’ to extend the innovative attention and inclusion strategy to other Vulnerable Groups and different Vulnerability Context and to further involve potential adopters of the TAIS methodologies, materials, products, services.
