In January 2010, IOM Helsinki launched the project "Developing Assisted Voluntary Return in Finland (DAVRiF)". The purpose of the project is to establish a general assisted voluntary return programme in Finland for third country nationals who want to return voluntarily to their countries of origin. The IOM Regional Office for the Nordic and Baltic States in Helsinki implements the project in cooperation with the Finnish Immigration Service. Throughout 2010 IOM will:
Develop and and strengthen the cooperation between authorities and other voluntary return stakeholders in Finland
Facilitate access to return information for both potential returnees, Finnish authorities and the general public
Provide up to 200 eligible beneficiares with voluntary return arrangements and reintegration support in the form of reintegration cash grants.
This three-year project is funded by the European Return Fund and the Finnish Immigration Service.
The web pages of the Project "Developing Assisted Voluntary Return in Finland" were made possible through financial support provided by the European Return Fund and the Finnish Immigration Service. The opinions expressed therein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission.
For information on voluntary returns from other countries than Finland, please visit the IOM Helsinki general AVR pages or contact us.
