Abstract

The increasing role of non-governmental organizations in advocating for inclusive migration policies in the European Union Western region countries such as Germany, Spain and Italy highlight the need for a deeper understanding of their influence, strategies, and challenges. This research examines the complexities of NGO advocacy, aiming to explore the strategies used by these organizations to amplify the voices of migrants in EU policymaking processes. Through a combination of literature review, semi-structured interviews, and policy analysis. The study identifies the challenges that non-governmental organizations face, such as legal restrictions or financial limitations, and explores how addressing these challenges can inform the development of more effective strategies to enhance NGO influence on migration policies.
