The Return and Reintegration of Rejected Asylum Seekers and Irregular Migrants. An analysis of government assisted return programmes in selected European countries

This report compares the experiences of a selection of existing assisted return programmes for rejected asylum-seekers and irregular migrants, and draws lessons from them for future programmes. Specifically, the report focuses on three aspects: programme implementation, the targeting of assistance, and evaluation. In each case it analyses the experiences of existing programmes, and then makes recommendations for best practice in the future.
