Publications

This practical guide supports national administrations in implementing key aspects related to the management and organisation of collective reception centres, with a focus on the initial phase of reception (i.e. arrival in reception) and the link with procedural aspects.

The publication aims to be a guide to relevant stakeholders (e.g., national, regional and local authorities, as well as civil society organisations) when designing and building new reception centres according to the agency’s standards and guidelines.

This report provides a comprehensive overview of reception systems, from the roles of authorities to the types of accommodation available.
