In carrying out the project, we wanted to achieve the goals that below emphasized. 1. Clarifying the best practices of a multi-country perspective to eliminate the identified deficiencies in the financial harmonization and integration studies for the target group. 2. Conducting semi-structured interviews to determine refugees' financial inclusion, and financial literacy knowledge, skills and competence levels in all partner countries. 3. Developing a roadmap for relevant institutions and organizations in order to increase financial inclusion, financial access, and financial literacy levels of the refugees
Removing barriers for expanding financial access for refugees has been one of the most crucial issues in countries which have high refugee population. Project partners consist of Greece and Croatia which have high refugee population after Türkiye. The countries hosting large numbers of refugees, local communities often experience a high level of poverty problems and have to take precautions, regulations and practices regarding the financial problems of immigrants. Common problems of refugees in different countries may allow to reduce the problems to be experienced in the future. We applied for this project to indicate the preferences and expectations of refugees and highlight general priority issues, clarify the main gaps between the legal frameworks and actual practices through sharing the best practices of with a multi country perspective. Clarifying the best practices of a multi-country perspective to eliminate the deficiencies in the financial integration was another need that we have addressed through search conferences and semi structured interviews.
