To be able to engage the community in effective Sofia integration policy assessment and agenda setting, Sofia Development Association and RiskMonitor Foundation invited representatives of local government and institutions, NGOs and community organizations to establish a city Stakeholder Integration Group. It will participate in INTEGRA project decision-making and participatory activities and guarantee the quality and relevance of the project findings by tapping into local knowledge, reducing conflict and confidence building.

The integration group includes prof. Anna Krasteva, Center for European Refugee, Migrant and Ethnic Studies; Miryana Malamin- Siriyski, expert with Sofia Municipal Council Committee on Culture, Education and Diversity; Angel Gyorev, Caritas; Nadya Obretenova, Bulgarian National Television; Solomon Bali, B’nai B’rith; Panayot Chafkarov, MultiCulti Collective; Costanza Ivanova and Lilyana Sabeva, Sofia Municipality.
