ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This report is the accumulative effort of many people who have been part of the Somalis in European Cities report series. It brings together the findings from seven cities in western and northern Europe, and within them, specific neighbourhoods: Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Leicester, London, Malm?, and Oslo.

Somalis in European Cities has been designed and prepared by At Home in Europe, part of the Open Society Initiative for Europe, Open Society Foundations. The research and analysis was conducted by local/national based experts from each of the countries.
