The arrival centre of Fedasil (Brussels) adapts its opening days during the holiday period.

Fedasil urgently needs additional places to house asylum seekers.

An increase in the number of asylum seekers entering the reception network of Fedasil marked 2018.

19,500 asylum seekers joined Fedasil's reception network in 2018, resulting in a need for additional places.

Last week, Fedasil organised the last conference of EPRA, the platform where 14 European countries work together on reception.

This Monday 3 December, the ‘Petit-Château’ has become an ‘arrival centre’ for asylum seekers who have just arrived in Belgium.

Brussel Onthaal and BIAL, the Brussels Institute for Applied Linguistics of the VUB (University of Brussels) work to improve the communication with new asylum seekers. Their project is subsidised this year by Fedasil.

Fedasil publishes its review 2017, a year marked by a decline in in the number of people received and the closure of 3,000 reception places.

Each year, Fedasil finances specific projects with regard to the reception of international protection applicants and other reception beneficiaries.

The Belgian government has decided to reduce the capacity of the reception network for asylum seekers.
