In mid-2024, mass student protests erupted across Bangladesh following the reintroduction of a controversial civil service quota system. What began as university demonstrations quickly escalated into a nationwide uprising that brought an end to 15 years of government under Sheikh Hasina.

📘 The EUAA Country of Origin Information (COI) report on Bangladesh 📄 https://europa.eu/!NjkHBg, provides detailed insights into the political transition, evolving human rights landscape, and ongoing challenges one year after the revolution. It focuses in particular on the implications of the 2024 protests, the formation of an interim government under Muhammad Yunus, and the situation of vulnerable communities.

Over the past 2 years, the Fedasil Info Point in Brussels has helped respond to more than 22,000 requests from people seeking info on 🏠 accommodation, 🏥 medical care, and ⚖️ legal assistance with support from EUAA experts and interpreters.

🎉 On 24 September, we celebrated its second anniversary — a chance to reflect on its achievements and raise awareness of its mission among key partners and stakeholders.

Since day one, the EUAA has supported the Info Point, not just with operational help and capacity-building, but also at strategic level.

ℹ️ One example is the Referral Toolkit: a new online tool we’re piloting to help asylum and reception authorities better connect with local NGOs and service providers, especially for applicants with specific needs.

👏Congratulations to everyone involved!

Every decision taken by asylum officials has real consequences, not only for those seeking protection but for the credibility of the asylum system itself. Fairness, accuracy, and consistency are essential.

That’s why the new exists: to equip national asylum and reception officials across the EU+ with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to implement EU asylum law in line with fundamental rights. As the first and only EU-accredited training academy in this field, it delivers standardised, fit-for-purpose programmes that strengthen trust, build capacity, and promote convergence.

As of 17 September, more than 3 000 asylum seekers, including vulnerable persons, families and unaccompanied minors have been transferred from Cyprus with EUAA support.

Since August 2022, the EUAA in coordination with the Cypriot Asylum Service, the European Commission and IOM Cyprus, has been supporting Cyprus authorities in implementing relocation activities under the Voluntary Solidarity Mechanism (VSM). This Mechanism allows for the voluntary relocation of asylum applicants in the five first-line Mediterranean Countries, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain to other EU Member States and associated countries, willing to accept them.

During this exercise, the EUAA has been organising sessions to help asylum seekers understand and consent to their participation in the relocation scheme.

With this milestone, Cyprus has achieved the highest number of relocations among the 5 countries benefiting from the VSM.
