These days, the General Inspectorate for Migration's Accommodation Centre has completed an extensive project aiming at improving living conditions for beneficiaries. Over the past twelve months, the GIM, with the support of development partners, have managed to renovate the sanitary blocks, build a children's playground, improve access conditions for people with disabilities and complete the supply of newborn kits. Bunk beds have also been installed, so that in the event of a force majeure, the Centre can accommodate up to 200 people. And with the support of the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), medical care is provided when needed.
The General Inspectorate for Migration's Accommodation Centre hosts hundreds of citizens from dozens of countries around the world every year. Many of them are children and people with disabilities. At the moment, 10 children, one of whom is a newborn, have found refuge at the IGM Accommodation Centre.
The project was carried out on the basis of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Danish Refugee Council signed in 2022. With substantial contributions and endowments, UNICEF Moldova and the US Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration joined.
We would like to mention that, at the moment, the Accommodation Centre of the GIM shelters 65 persons: asylum seekers in the Republic of Moldova, refugees or persons benefiting from international protection, from more than 20 countries of the world.
