SOLUTION:

The programme aims to improve access to healthcare and other rights for migrants in Algiers by bringing together various local organisations. The programme has four components: creation of a network of health service mediators, helping organisations to support migrants, developing community-based health education activities and launching a process of transnational lobbying activities.
