Executive Summary of the Evaluation of the National Undocumented Migrant Facility

The purpose of this National Undocumented Migrant Facility, Landelijke Vreemdelingen Voorzieningen (LVV), is to devise a permanent solution and perspective for those involved in the form of departure from the Netherlands or - if the right conditions are met - legalisation of residence or onward migration. A joint development process was chosen between central government and municipalities, starting with a pilot in the five municipalities of Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Groningen, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The LVV is developed from the field; previous experiences in providing shelter and counselling by NGOs working with municipalities are enhanced with the involvement of government organisations in the immigration process.

This final evaluation aims to understand the effectiveness of the LVV pilot and draw lessons for the future. This final evaluation also discusses working elements and lessons learned for the national roll-out and the LVV's asylum and return procedure around the LVV.
