In order to ensure quality, consistency, and coordination of assistance, case management shall be provided in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOPs) to be established for each centre in line with its components and objectives.

Referral mechanisms
Beneficiaries assisted in migrant centres usually have complex and multiple needs that require a comprehensive and multi-dimensional response that unlikely can be provided by a single entity or organisation. Cooperation among different stakeholders such as United Nations (UN) agencies, government entities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society and the private sector through referral mechanisms is therefore paramount to ensure comprehensive assistance and protection.

In fact, participation to such activities may offer them stable routines while receiving assistance and provide opportunities for social interaction and self-expression.

Administrative and legal services
People on the move often face challenges in proving their legal identity, as their credentials are often lost or destroyed during the migratory process, and children are born during the journey.

Sustainable solutions
Depending on the context and on the specificities of each case, different types of durable solutions can be sought for migrants assisted in migrant centres.
