C. Safeguarding human rights The challenge of the refugee crisis 4.4 Ombudsman’s Recommendations Based on the previous findings, the Ombudsman focuses, among other things, on the need for: Α. M  ore systematic planning by the central government, with focus on ensuring the conditions that prevent negative phenomena, e.g. • a ssurance of adequate and quality provision of food, • selection of suppliers of related services from the local economy by priority, • review of the geographical distribution of the populations, • rapid transition from the current accommodation mod- el in more or less ghetto-like facilities to the accommodation model in residences/apartments, in order to facilitate integration in the local community, • support of the financial initiatives of private citizens with the employment of a percentage of residents and refugee populations, in order to achieve a gradual familiarisation, and the economic independence of the remaining third-country nationals, From the local government’s side, similar actions should be taken, e.g. employment of people from the local community in each case in positions related to the management of the refugee phenomenon. B. R  einforcement of the interconnection with the local communities, in conditions far different from those experienced by all involved parties in the past which had an emergency character. Best practices could be utilised in this direction, such as those presented above, or others related to the development of collaborations and joint actions (e.g. joint art exhibitions, joint participation in environmental actions for improving the area). C. P  romotion of the social integration of those who want it and meet the requirements, by creating the appropriate conditions, from the aspect of institutional framework and infrastructure, e.g.: • third-country nationals remaining in the country obtaining a Social Security Number (AMKA) or 72 • completion of the procedures for activating the provision on the Third-country National Health Care Card, • p romotion of employment integration with potential use of EU funds.
