Meaningful integration in the municipality of Utrecht
Municipality of Utrecht
2023
Action research, design sessions, interviews, reflection sessions
We conducted qualitative monitoring and evaluation for the municipality of Utrecht to better tailor municipal policy to people who are required to integrate. To this end, we operationalized the municipality of Utrecht's ambition. We then translated this into indicators to measure it and mapped out what data is needed for this and what is already available.
Indicators of Integration
To this end, we used the evidence-based model of Indicators of Integration, applied by OpenEmbassy the Dutch context. Our action research in recent years has provided insight into which specific components of, for example, 'healthcare' are necessary for integration, such as access to a general practitioner and the presence of interpreters in healthcare. We supplement this with more specific Utrecht indicators that do justice to the local context.
