TCNs will receive information about the legal rights and obligations related to their stay in Bulgaria and will improve their knowledge concerning relevant social, educational, health and labor service providers.

Overall objective of the project: within the framework of this project, IOM will provide administrative, legal, health, psychological and social assistance to persons seeking international protection or beneficiaries of international protection in Bulgaria, with special attention being paid to the needs of vulnerable groups.
