Spending time in Northern Uganda: Helena Clarke, Communications & Media Executive
I’ve often wondered what Africa is really like. Stories told by the media invariably want us to buy into clichéd rhetoric around hunger and conflict. These one dimensional depictions build an empty narrative, estranged from reality. This picture breeds ignorance; and moreover is inaccurate in its portrayal of the richness and beauty of Africa.
I spent the last week as a volunteer with Trocaire in Northern Uganda, which is slowly recovering from a brutal war inflicted on its people at the hands of the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army). At 1.8 million, Northern Ugandans formed the largest Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) group in the world of its time, living in camps for up to 20 years. Not only were people faced with problems of sanitation, disease, lack of education, and a variety of social issues in these overcrowded camps, but frequent attacks by the LRA were a constant threat, especially to the children whom they recruited as child soldiers. Whilst LRA leader, Joseph Kony, has still not formally signed the peace agreement in the north, a de facto peace is in place and the people have begun to rebuild their lives and return to their land.
Our group was invited into small rural communities to talk to people about the issues which confronted them on returning home. Many Northerners have forgotten their farming skills, or as with the numerous child-led families never got the chance to learn these skills from their parents in the first place. However, the determination of these people to survive – often against all odds – is humbling. The people we spoke with were not bitter, did not feel sorry for themselves, and were getting on with the business of living.
We also had the opportunity to visit a number of Trócaire partners which are local inspirational grass roots organisations. With such an enormous task ahead who would blame these organisations if they abandoned themselves to disillusionment; instead however their staff and volunteers often work 12 hour days, seven days per week, in their fight for justice. One of the biggest obstacles these organisations face is their existing within a burgeoning society. Strong governance structures are not in place, and instead corruption can and does threaten progress rather than support it. Despite this, organisations like the Land & Equity Movement (LEMU) continue in their efforts.
It is sometimes easy in Ireland to lose sight of the reasons that people seek and are entitled to gain refugee status - they are invariably fleeing unimaginable circumstances. The decision to leave their families, homes, and everything they know can never be easy. Africa should not be dismissed as a troubled land; it is vibrant, friendly and alive with colour – not an easy place to leave behind.
I am grateful to Trocaire for this opportunity, as it not only informs the work I do with The Integration Centre, but also gives me a much deeper understanding of Africa’s strength, perseverance and beauty.

The Integration Centre on Ministerial Council
Mary White, T.D., Minister of State for Equality, Integration and Human Rights, has established a Ministerial Council on Integration to advise her directly on issues faced by migrants.
The Minister has begun to chair meetings of the Council which meets in regional formation and is each composed of 15 to 20 members from each region. The members are migrants and appointed for a period of five years.
Minister White said before setting up the council, “I plan to set up four regional forums so I can engage directly with migrants and listen to their issues, hopes and challenges. I place great emphasis on the importance of civil society engagement and I want to work closely with our immigrant communities to ensure effective integration.”
Regional Development Officer for The Integration Centre, Jipe Kelly, is currently sitting on the council in Galway. Having already attended its first meeting on 7th Oct he said that the council is “interactive, and a lot of issues were discussed, particularly citizenship, access to education and grants”.
For further information on the council or Jipe’s work in Galway contact: jipe.kelly@integrationcentre.ie
The Integration Centre goes before Oireachtas Committee
On October 12th, The Integration Centre was represented by Northeast & Border Regional Officer Niamh O Sullivan, at the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health & Children. The Reception and Integration Agency and H.S.E. were asked to give input and take questions, following the committee’s visit to direct provision hostels in Monaghan and Mosney on July 22nd 2010. Niamh was invited to attend the meeting because both hostels are in her region and she was involved with the committee and residents in preparation for the visits.
Members of the committee voiced concerns around the standard of accommodation they witnessed in Monaghan and also the length of time people are being accommodated in the direct provision system without clear direction as to how long the case will take. It was acknowledged at the meeting that many facets of the direct provision system directly impact on residents’ mental and physical health. The lack of an independent complaints mechanism through which residents can make complaints was also a focus for the meeting. Members of the committee and Ms O’Sullivan voiced concerns over the lack of transparency of the current procedure and the impact this can have on residents’ mental health, suggesting that it needs to change.
The committee chairman, Deputy Sean O Fearghail (FF) suggested that future visits to other hostels may be a possibility, as it was suggested to the committee that there are other examples of poor quality accommodation around the country.
Planning for Local Integration: A National Event
The Integration Centre held an inaugural information and workshop day, ‘Planning for Local Integration: A National Event’ on 13 October, in Dublin City Council (DCC), Wood Quay.
Triona Ni Choille - Director of Galway Refugee Support Group, Gerry Folan – Senior Executive Officer Dublin City Council, and Peter Szlovak – Monitoring and Integration Specialist The Integration Centre, all spoke at the event. Then workshops on how to establish plans, maintain participation, and monitor integration at the local levels took place.
The Integration Centre, in partnership with DCC, is in the process of developing an integration plan for Dublin. Peter Szlovak is heading up this project for The Integration Centre and in so doing has comprehensively studied European, National and Local developments in integration, as well as good practice in countries and cities across Europe.
Peter’s presentation on the day focused on monitoring integration at the local level. He argued that “monitoring tools should focus mainly on resources, activities and the impact these have on immigrants. You need to be conscious of the policy context - it should not be analyzed at local level, but at the national level. Local monitoring is more effective when it does not just look at local policy.”
Continuing he said “It’s better to undertake hands on approach – for example how services interact with immigrants. Local NGO’s unfortunately do not have sufficient resources to complete vast research. Most cities focus on specific details: Berlin – education, Dusseldorf – social segregation, Barcelona – religious and intercultural dialogue. When a broad picture is not possible, covering one aspect well can give an adequate picture. It also depends on the priorities of the city.”
The Integration Centre has been collaborating with the DCC, and other organisations working in this or related fields, throughout 2010 on this project.
Sheffield University Visits The Integration Centre
The Integration Centre hosted a group of students from Sheffield University on 19th October following a successful visit last year. The students took this field visit because of a particular interest in the situation of refugees and asylum seekers in Ireland. They were given a presentation on the main programme areas of the organisation.
Ali Dennehy, Senior Information and Advocacy officer, gave a brief overview of the asylum system in Ireland, developments in the last decade, and outlined the main challenges faced by asylum seekers and refugees.
The presentation was followed with a lively questions and answers section followed by a visit to Hatch Hall, a direct provision centre based in Dublin city.
The visitors expressed their satisfaction with the session and a new group is likely to come over next year to continue what is quickly becoming an annual visit by Sheffield University to The Integration Centre.
Social Inclusion Week 2010
A number of events took place this month all over Ireland to celebrate Social Inclusion Week 2010.In Galway The Integration Centre regional officer Jipe Kelly organized the workshop ‘Access to Employment and Citizenship’ which took place in the Maldron Hotel, Oranmore. The workshops at the event focused on how to develop your CV, and how to apply for citizenship. Mr Kelly speaking on the event said, “this event allowed participants the opportunity for deep discussion on a number of key issues”
The Integration Centre also attended the launch of the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Ethnic Minority Integration Forum hosted by Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. The Forum established as a result of a partnership between Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Social Inclusion Unit and the New Communities Partnership (and supported by Southside Partnership) was officially launched by Mary White, Minister for Integration, Human Rights and Equality. This event, which marked the beginning of Social Inclusion Week, also included presentations on two successful projects funded by the Office of the Minister for Integration. The website translation project provided for translation of information materials by services providers and small businesses into a number of languages whereas the Get Wise training manual produced by the Garda Siochana is aimed at building a trusting relationship between the Garda and the local population including both established and new minority ethnic groups. The Integration Centre welcomes these developments and hopes to collaborate with the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Ethnic Minority Integration Forum in the future.
The Integration Centre on Coalition Against IRP Bill 2010
The Immigration Residence and Protection Bill has been debated and reinvented. This process which has taken many years now leaves us with a Bill which continues to contain contentious provisions including the summary removal of immigrants ‘perceived’ to be illegal.
Summary removal means that immigrants can be deported without notice if they are thought to be illegally resident in Ireland by a garda or immigration official. This provision is thought to be contrary to recognised human rights law and if passed it will prevent due process from taking place.
Several immigrant organisations met outside the Dail to protest the Bill, Wed 6 Oct, and a statement of their concerns were given to Michael D Higgins, TD, who came out from the Dail proceedings especially to talk to the organisations involved. The statement was then to be presented to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform Dermot Ahern, TD.
This coalition has been formed to lobby for positive change to some key provisions in the bill.
Immigrants Political Rights: A Face To Integration
Available data reveals that EU member States have minimal numbers of immigrants participating in politics, especially third-country nationals. Furthermore, all member States clearly distinguish between the political rights granted to EU nationals and third-country nationals.
Currently EU nationals residing in any member state are granted voting rights at the local level and regional levels; and for European Parliament elections. For all other immigrants, access to voting rights is subject to restrictions. Such restrictions depend on the residence status of the individual (such as permanent residents, temporary workers, refugees, asylum seekers); and sometimes, on their country of origin. In France and Germany, the EU’s leading economies, non- EU nationals are restricted from exercising political rights, as well as in Spain, one of the EU member States with the highest number of Migrants.
This reveals an inconsistent acceptance of the EU frame-work strategies on Integration plans and is a major obstacle towards political representation of Non- EU nationals.
Ireland however, and a few Nordic Countries, confer political rights to non-EU nationals, where they can vote and stand as a candidate, at local but not national election.
EU and Non- EU Immigrant participation in Irish politics increased at the 2009 local election, due to the developing policy debate around immigration, integration and social cohesion in Ireland, which extends to Political parties, in ensuring that it reflects the diversity of the society. In the same election, political parties also featured more immigrant candidates with about a 40% increase in the number of immigrants that exercised their voting rights.
Immigrant participation in politics is more important now than ever. The current debate on the provisions of the Immigration Residence and Protection Bill 2010 provides a context for this. Immigrants need representation so their concerns are addressed. The Integration Centre therefore encourages people from immigrant backgrounds to become politically active, to exercise your rights and let your voice be heard.
European Transparency Initiative Ministerial Conference on Quality and Efficiency in the Asylum Process
Representatives of EU institutions and NGOs met 13-24 Sept last in Brussels to discuss how to improve asylum procedures in Europe. It was agreed that initiatives to increase practical cooperation, such as the establishment of a European Asylum Support Office, soon to be set up in Malta, will contribute to making the asylum system fairer and more efficient.
While accepting that practical cooperation such as sharing information about countries of origin and pooling interpretation services and training can contribute to better decisions, European Council for Refugees and Exiles Sec Gen, Bjarte Vandvik, pointed out that EU Member States also need to work together on fairer common asylum rules. A harmonised asylum system with higher standards of protection would, he added, not only be fairer, but would be more efficient and less costly in the longer term.
The European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has published two new reports about the divergences people face when they seek asylum in the EU. One focuses on the language barriers during the asylum procedure, showing that where provision of translation is concerned, there are serious imbalances among the EU Member States. The other examines the varying time limits – from 2 days to 2 months - for filing an appeal if an application for asylum receives a negative decision. According to the FRA, asylum seekers across Europe are on an uneven playing field. European Council on Refugees & Exiles (ECRE) Weekly Bulletins - Sept ' 10 www.ecre.org
