For the period 2024-2026, the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund AMIF is co-financing 75% of a project regarding the use of interpreting services and new technologies in order to improve and speed up the processing of asylum applications. The total amount of the AMIF grant is €21 million over the period of three years. This project is part of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) and the European Pact on Migration and Asylum and includes four components:
• Translation of interviews for asylum applications into the applicant's language (Pashto, Ukrainian, Bengali, Haitian Creole, etc.);
• Translations via the phone for introductory interviews for asylum applications, in conjunction with the France Asile (EFA) pilot scheme;
• Testing of artificial intelligence tools, for example for certain documentary research (but under no circumstances for drafting decisions);
• digitisation of the asylum application processing system
