Innovative financing for the Pact on Migration and Asylum Financial instruments and blended finance

This fi-compass factsheet provides an overview of innovative financing solutions, such as financial instruments and blended finance, supporting the implementation of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. The factsheet is designed to assist Managing Authorities and stakeholders in identifying opportunities beyond traditional grant funding, focusing on solutions in support areas linked to three building blocks:

• Building block 10 ‘Resettlement, Inclusion and Integration’ – contributing to promoting entrepreneurship and employment,
• Building block 3 ‘Rethinking reception’ – contributing to addressing needs related to reception centres and housing,
• Building block 2 ‘A new system to manage migration at the EU external borders’ – contributing to infrastructure development.

For each area, the factsheet identifies project types suitable for innovative financing and summarises key options that may be considered. These non-exhaustive examples can help authorities explore innovative financing strategies for some of the measures foreseen in or linked to their respective National Implementation Plans.
