Implementation of the integration strategy

In February 2021, the government adopted a new integration strategy. It has also been available in plain language since 2022.

The implementation of the integration strategy is monitored by an inter-agency working group under the leadership of the Ministry of Society. In its annual monitoring report, it provides information on planned measures and the status of implementation. Information, communication and advice, education and training as well as law and the state have been defined as priority areas for action. In general, the VMR welcomes the consistent and transparent implementation of the strategy.

Since 2022, the Ministry of Society has held an annual integration dialog between migration communities, authorities and specialist agencies in order to plan implementation measures under the strategy and facilitate an exchange of information. The third Integration Dialogue in the reporting year was dedicated to the topics of political participation of foreigners, the solidarity study by the Stiftung Lebenswertes Liechtenstein and the presentation of the "integration.li" advice center.

The opening of the advice center and the further development and multilingualism of the "integration.li" website should be highlighted as significant milestones in the implementation of the integration strategy in the reporting year. Both significantly improve and simplify access to information and promote awareness of integration services. Further implementation measures such as the adaptation of relevant state websites or standardized interpreter services in the state administration are in progress. According to the government's monitoring report, in most cases where implementation has stalled, the necessary resources are lacking.
