FOREWORD 3 │ Foreword When it comes to migrant integration, the local level matters. Where migrants go and how they integrate into their new communities depends on the specific characteristics of cities and regions. Even though migration policies are the responsibility of the national government, the concentration of migrants in cities, and particularly in metropolitan areas, has an impact on the local demand for work, housing, goods and services that local authorities have to manage. Local authorities play a vital role in this integration. Cities can learn from each other and help provide local, regional, national and international policy makers and practitioners with better evidence for integration policy design. This case study Working Together for Local Integration of Migrants and Refugees in Paris provides insight into the city’s migrant integration trends and current situation. In order to do so, it applies the OECD Checklist for public action to migrant integration at the local level that is articulated around 4 blocks and 12 objectives. The four blocks cover: 1) institutional and financial settings; 2) time and proximity as keys for migrants and host communities to live together; 3) enabling conditions for policy formulation and implementation; and 4) sectoral policies related to integration: access to the labour market, housing, social welfare and health, and education. This case study is part of a broader OECD-European Union project “A territorial approach to migrant integration: The role of local authorities” which addresses a critical gap in knowledge on migration issues by analysing the multi-level governance of local integration. The project takes stock of such multi-level governance frameworks and policies for migrant and refugee integration at the local level in nine large European cities: Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Glasgow, Gothenburg, Paris, Rome and Vienna and, thanks to the support of the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, a small city in Germany (Altena). It also builds on information collected from these and 61 other European cities, through an ad-hoc survey and a newly created and publicly available statistical database on migrant outcomes at regional level. The project looks at updates to the governance mechanisms that cities adopted in the wake of the influx of asylum seekers and refugees that concerned EU countries since 2015. Conversely, it also investigates opportunities to extend some of the services recently established for newcomers to long-standing migrant groups. This and the other nine city case studies, along with the synthesis report Working Together for Local Integration of Migrants and Refugees, are outputs of this OECD European Union initiative contributing to the programme of work of the OECD Regional Development Policy Committee (RDPC) implemented by the Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE). They also contribute to the OECD Horizontal Project on “Ensuring the effective integration of vulnerable migrant groups” by focusing on improving the integration capacities of the local governments. WORKING TOGETHER FOR LOCAL INTEGRATION OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES IN PARIS © OECD 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 5 │ Acknowledgements This publication Working Together for Local Integration of Migrants and Refugees in Paris was produced by the Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE) led by Lamia Kamal-Chaoui, Director. It is part of a wider project “A territorial approach to migrant integration: The role of local authorities” and an output of an OECD European Union initiative contributing to the programme of work of the OECD’s Regional Development Policy Committee (RDPC). Co-ordination of the wider project and this case study was led by Claire Charbit, Head of the Territorial Dialogue and Migration Unit in the Regional Development and Tourism Division managed by Alain Dupeyras, in CFE. This case study was drafted by Anna Piccinni, Maria Trullén Malaret and Gaetan Muller (OECD). It benefitted from substantial inputs made by Charlotte Demuijnck, Paola Proietti, Vivianne Spitzhofer, Lisanne Raderschall and Marcos Diaz-Ramirez (OECD). This case study also benefitted from the comments of other OECD directorates and in particular from Cécile Thoreau, International Migration Division of the Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (ELS). This case study has been developed thanks to the close collaboration of the municipality of Paris that provided the information and organised meetings for the OECD field work, as well as the support of the national government officials who provided information. The Secretariat would like to express its gratitude to all participants to the interviews (see Annex 1). In particular, the OECD thanks Dominique Versini, Deputy Mayor of Paris for Solidarity, the Fight Against Exclusion, Refugee Reception and Child Protection, for her ongoing support throughout the process of the case study as well as to Anne-Charlotte Leluc and Charlotte Schneider, members of her team. The Secretariat is especially thankful for the financial contribution and the collaboration throughout the implementation of the project to the European Union Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy. In particular, the Secretariat would like to thank Andor Urmos for their guidance as well as for their substantive inputs to the revision of the case study.

    2. THE CHECKLIST FOR PUBLIC ACTION TO MIGRANT INTEGRATION AT THE LOCAL LEVEL APPLIED TO THE CITY OF PARIS 37 │ Chapter 2. The Checklist for public action to migrant integration at the local level applied to the city of Paris This section is structured following the Checklist for public action to migrant integration at the local level, (OECD, 2018a) which comprises a list of 12 key evidence-based objectives, articulated into four mini blocks that can be used by policy makers and practitioners in the development and implementation of migrant integration programmes, at local, regional, national and international levels. This Checklist highlights for the first time common messages and cross-cutting lessons learnt around policy frameworks, institutions, and mechanisms that feature in policies for migrant and refugee integration. This innovative tool has been elaborated by the OECD as part of the larger study on “Working Together for Local Integration of Migrants and Refugees” supported by the European Commission, Directorate General for Regional and urban policies. This part gives a description of the actions implemented in Paris following this framework. WORKING TOGETHER FOR LOCAL INTEGRATION OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES IN PARIS © OECD 2018 38 2.

  • Chapter 1. Migration Snap-Shot of the City of Paris
    1. MIGRATION SNAP-SHOT OF THE CITY OF PARIS 27 │ Chapter 1. Migration Snap-shot of the city of Paris 1.1. Migration insights: National and local level flows, stock and legal framework Official statistical data on the presence of migrants use three categories: immigrants, foreign nationals and native-born individuals with at least one parent who is a migrant. According to the most recent INSEE data, immigrant (i.e. individuals born foreign in a foreign country who might have obtained French nationality) represented on January 2014, 8.9% of the population in France (Brutel, 2016; OECD, 2017b). While there has been evolution in the countries of origin in the past 45 years, the main countries remain Italy, Spain, Portugal, Algeria and Morocco. France has a long history of international migration and the presence of migrants today results from several migration inflows from the 20th century. Between the two world wars, workers from Spain and Italy arrived in the country responding to the needs of the expanding industrial and agricultural sectors. After 1945, the reconstruction efforts particularly important in the most populated urban areas, called for workers from colonial Algeria, first, and other Maghreb areas after. They were followed from the 1960s by Portuguese and sub-Saharan Africa nationals, and by the end of the century arrivals of Asian migrants coming mainly from Turkey and China (Brutel, 2016). In 1968, there was a strong concentration of economic activity in the Île-de France region which accounted for, at that time, 40% of the industrial work and 30% of the French population.

  • Nutritional Situation Among Syrian Refugees Hosted in Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon: Cross Sectional Surveys S
    Hossain et al. Conflict and Health (2016) 10:26 DOI 10.1186/s13031-016-0093-6 RESEARCH Open Access Nutritional situation among Syrian refugees hosted in Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon: cross sectional surveys S. M. Moazzem Hossain1, Eva Leidman2*, James Kingori1, Abdullah Al Harun1 and Oleg O. Bilukha2 Abstract Background: Ongoing armed conflict in Syria has caused large scale displacement. Approximately half of the population of Syria have been displaced including the millions living as refugees in neighboring countries. We sought to assess the health and nutrition of Syrian refugees affected by the conflict. Methods: Representative cross-sectional surveys of Syrian refugees were conducted between October 2 and November 30, 2013 in Lebanon, April 12 and May 1, 2014 in Jordan, and May 20 and 31, 2013 in Iraq. Surveys in Lebanon were organized in four geographical regions (North, South, Beirut/Mount Lebanon and Bekaa). In Jordan, independent surveys assessed refugees residing in Za’atri refugee camp and refugees residing among host community nationwide. In Iraq, refugees residing in Domiz refugee camp in the Kurdistan region were assessed. Data collected on children aged 6 to 59 months included anthropometric indicators, morbidity and feeding practices. In Jordan and Lebanon, data collection also included hemoglobin concentration for children and non- pregnant women aged 15 to 49 years, anthropometric indicators for both pregnant and non-pregnant women, and household level indicators such as access to safe water and sanitation. Results: The prevalence of global acute malnutrition among children 6 to 59 months of age was less than 5 % in all samples (range 0.3–4.4 %).

The Ile-de-France region comprises eight departments, including Paris. The other departments in the region are Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne, Val-d'Oise Essonne, Yvelines and Seine-et-Marne (OSI 84). The Parisian suburbs make up the areas with the highest proportion of Muslims in France. According to a 1999 census, 1,611,008 immigrants live in the Ile-de-France region. Of this figure, 466,608 are from the Maghreb, 238,984 from Sub-Saharan Africa, and 50,125 from Turkey. These three groups of immigrant populations comprise nearly 50% of the immigration population in the Ile-de-France region. Accurate data on the large numbers of immigrant descendants and children are unavailable (OSI 84). The North-African population lives predominantly in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, Yvelines, and Val-de-Marne. Immigrants with Sub-Saharan origins mostly reside in the city center - in particular, the 18th, 19th, and 20th arrondissement and in three suburban cities: Bobigny in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, Vitry-sur-Seine in the Val de Marne department, and Cergy in the Val-d'Oise department (OSI 84-85). The arrival of the first waves of Muslim immigrants coincided with alterations of Parisian living conditions. While many arrived to shanty-towns on the city's limits, later housing often lacked running water, and sanitary facilities.

See generally UNHCR, The 1951 Refugee Convention.3 While we condemn the rule in its entirety, in light of our particular mission, experience, and expertise, our comments highlight the devastating impact the rule will have on a uniquely vulnerable population of asylum seekers: immigrant survivors of gender-based violence.
