At the weekend, it became clear who does and does not receive support from the Directorate of Integration and Diversity (Imdi).

Imdi is handing out this year NOK 41.9 million in grants to “national resource centres”.

There were ten organizations that received support to “promote participation and integration in society and working life among people with an immigrant background in Norway”. Among them were the Antiracist Centre, which received NOK 4.9 million, and Bydelsmødre, which received NOK 1.6 million.

The complete list can be found here.

– The only ones who dare

However, support was cut for several of the organizations that have been most visible in the integration debate.

This applies to LIM, led by Sarah Gaulin, Minotenk, led by Linda Noor, and Utrop, the newspaper which for 25 years has dealt exclusively with multicultural Norway.
