Limerick’s Migrant Integration Steering Group invite expressions of interest from suitably qualified consultants and researchers to assist with the development of the city and county’s fourth integration strategy.

Background

The Migrant Integration Steering Group (MISG), formerly the Integration Working Group (IWG), has been active in promoting the integration of migrant communities in Limerick since 2007. In 2018 it developed Limerick’s third integration strategy, Belonging to Limerick. This provided a roadmap for the creation of a vibrant, inclusive and truly intercultural society in which all residents belong and are valued equally, regardless of their colour, creed or culture.

The MISG provides a platform for cooperation between the local authority, state bodies, community and voluntary agencies. Its overall objective is to support the longer-term integration of migrant communities in Limerick, and it provides oversight and strategic guidance in relation to migrant integration strategy in Limerick City and County.

Limerick MISG is now seeking expressions of interest from parties with relevant expertise who can assist the development of the fourth integration strategy for Limerick. Building on Belonging to Limerick, and taking cognisance of the changing landscape nationally and locally, the aim is to develop a strategy that will inform up to the end of 2029.
