PRUMA: Promoting Family Reunification and transfer of Unaccompanied Minor Asylum Seekers (UMASs) under the Dublin Regulation

Migration and Demography

Brief me

The PRUMA project aimed at promoting the efficient and safe family reunification of unaccompanied minor asylum seekers (hereinafter UMASs), tried to address procedural gaps by developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). In addition, based on the experience and insights gathered throughout the project implementation, IOM drafted some shared recommendations with main stakeholders, trying to overcome the shortcomings and red tapes that can make the overall family reunification process too complex and lengthy for the applicants, while ensuring respect for the best interests of the child.
