Portuguese Refugee Council (CPR) - Asylum Information Database (AIDA), Country Report: Portugal, 2021 Update

The Asylum Information Database (AIDA) is coordinated by the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE). It aims to provide up-to date information on asylum practice in 23 countries. The database also seeks to promote the implementation and transposition of EU asylum legislation reflecting the highest possible standards of protection in line with international refugee and human rights law and based on best practice. The information in this report draws on the experience of CPR staff, gathered inter alia through research, advocacy, legal assistance and reception services, as well as data and information shared by national authorities, civil society organisations and other stakeholders consisting of ANQEP, CSTAF, DGE, DGEstE, DGS, IOM, ISS, OTSH, SCML, SEF, and UNHCR. CPR appreciates their contributions.
