The National Emergency Response Mechanism (NERM) is nominated for the award for best provider of social services in Europe, and a public vote to choose the winner is now open.
NERM, the flagship mechanism of the General Secretariat for Vulnerable Persons and Institutional Protection of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum is among the nominees for the “2024 European Social Services Awards “, following a presentation of its work at the European Social Services Conference.
We count on your vote to highlight the positive results of cooperation between the state and civil society.
Throughout its four years of operation, NERM has been a day-to-day example of excellent cooperation between the two, to ensure the best interest of children. NERM was established following a joint initiative of the Special Secretariat for the Protection of Unaccompanied Minors (now the General Secretariat for Vulnerable Persons and Institutional Protection) of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and has already received several distinctions as it has rescued thousands of children, adolescents and vulnerable persons from organised crime.
After having received the European Crime Prevent Award (ECPA) for the prevention of trafficking in human beings, NERM was again recognised as a good practice, earning Greece a prestigious place on the Interreg Europe 2021-2027 website.
Now the time has come again to acknowledge the work of NERM.
Public vote has been open since 1 October and will close on 21 October 2024.

Let’s all vote for another international success for Greece.
