Voluntary return, which falls under the responsibility of the Belgian Minister in charge of Social Integration, includes a social dimension, which has an impact on its purpose, target group and support which is provided by various actors. The organization of voluntary return is complex and obstacles and difficulties impede its implementation. The Belgian programs are evaluated and improved, using funding from the European Fund for Return.
