The IMPACT Project – Improving National Victim Support Frameworks in Estonia, Malta and Portugal aims to ensure better functioning of national victim support frameworks in three EU Member States to the advantage of all victims of all crimes in those countries. Having the 2012 Victims’ Rights Directive at the centre of its focus, IMPACT addresses the need for better implementation of the VRD across the EU, in line with the priorities set up by the EU Strategy on victims’ rights (2020-2025). The work in EE, MT and PT will be guided by Victim Support Europe, in collaboration with the Estonian Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Social Affairs, the Portuguese Ministry of Justice, Malta’s Victims Support Agency (Ministry of Home Affairs, Security and Employment) as well as key national and local stakeholders.
The IMPACT Project, funded by the TSI programme of the European Commission (DG REFORM), runs for 24 months and started in September 2024.
