In terms of delivering on these objectives the current strategic approach of the Agency is as follows:

• In relation to the Agency's client group, to liaise with all State and non-State bodies and agencies in the implementation of the overall integration objectives set out in the National Action Plan against Racism.
• To make a contribution, wherever possible, to the awareness and education of the host population.
• To maintain and enhance the Agency's procedures and practices for receiving and integrating programme refugees.
• To engage with all service providers at a strategic level so as to ensure the earliest availability of mainstream services for newcomers with a particular focus on education, health, employment and housing.
• To assist, facilitate and co-ordinate the activities of service providers in capacity building for a multicultural environment with a particular emphasis on continuing and developing a multi-agency approach.
• To encourage the empowerment of refugees through their effective involvement in integration measures.  
• To specifically identify common agendas with NGOs  and to engage effectively with them in addressing those common agendas.
• To maximise the use of the integration element of the European Refugee Fund through the selection of projects with the best potential for achieving overall integration policy objectives. 
• To engage with our European partners in  transnational projects and exercises of mutual benefit in the area of integrating refugees and  those with leave to remain.
