National Integration Program

In 2024, the priority of the National Integration Program is to protect the rights of national minorities:

• Improving the participation of ethnic minorities in socio-political life and local initiatives, and supporting their active involvement in decision-making processes;

• Strengthening the skills and capacities of ethnic minorities (including women and youth) and ensuring the implementation of their rights by supporting the enhancement of accessibility of state programs, services, and resources;

• Supporting the harmonization of the local legal framework that regulates ethnic minorities’ issues with international standards for the development of an inclusive, equal, and diverse society. This aims to create an advisory document based on the study of international practices and experiences.

The budget defined under the National Integration Program strategy has been fully expended since May, 2025. Accordingly, the program is no longer accepting project proposals on an open-door principle.
