Policy instruments
Discover the policy instruments that the partners of this project are tackling.
A means for public intervention. It refers to any policy, strategy, or law developed by public authorities and applied on the ground to improve a specific territorial situation. In most cases, financial resources are associated with a policy instrument. However, an instrument can also sometimes refer to a legislative framework with no specific funding. In the context of Interreg Europe, operational programmes for Investment for Growth and Jobs as well as Cooperation Programmes from European Territorial Cooperation are policy instruments. Beyond EU cohesion policy, local, regional, or national public authorities also develop their own policy instruments.

In 2016 the district's parliamentary assembly (Kreistag) voted in favour of the elaboration of an Integration Concept (in German: Integrationskonzept des Burgenlandkreises). The concept was formally approved in December 2017 and revised in 2018. The concept specifies the role of migration and integration for the district and sets principles for its administrative management through the district's Migration Agency (the only one of its kind in Germany). Further chapters deal with the reception of arriving non-EU nationals, housing, education and collaboration with civil society actors. Chapter 5 of the Integration Concept is dedicated to the labour market integration of non-EU nationals residing in the Burgenland district.
In 2023 the district is expected to initiate the revision of the Integration concept (to be finalised in 2024 or 2025). The learning of MILEstone can therefore be directly adopted and integrated. The revised Integration Concept will be subject to a vote of approval by the district's parliamentary assembly.
The concept is underpinned by financial resources financing the staff of the district's Migration Agency and projects. The latter are implemented by the Migration Agency itself or the agency provides financing to other organisations commissioned to conduct the projects on its behalf.

The reason for adopting the Local Program for Youth in the Municipality of Postojna 2018-2024 (Lokalni program za mladino v občini Postojna 2018-2024) is to fill the tasks of the city in the field of public interest in the youth sector with comprehensive regulation of the situation of young people in the municipality, providing conditions for continuous participation of young people in decision-making on important issues for them in the local community and accelerating the development of local youth policy in order to provide conditions for successful achievement of youth autonomy in the local community.
As Postojna hosts Slovenia's welcoming facility for young unaccompanied minor refugees, the strategy emphasises the objective of that group's long-term integration into the local society and labour market.
