ACCEM is an NGO that works in favour of refugees and immigrants in Spain. Since 1996, ACCEM has developed a strategy of observation that articulates national observation and local observatories. The objective of the local observatories is to improve the services which are offered to the migrants, thanks to a better knowledge of their needs and to the use of tools of territorial intelligence, CATALYSE and the trees of knowledge. Since 1996, the Gorion national observatory has gathered in Madrid the individual data of migrants from the regional centres and from the different programmes that were carried out by ACCEM. It provides a wider knowledge of the migrants and of their different demand profiles. Thus, it allows better programming the actions. It is also possible to answer the administration, economic actors and local centres demands of information about the actions and programmes. In the same way, two local observatories were developed in GIJÓN and SIGÜENZA in partnership with the local services and the public associations. The objective was to answer in a global way the needs of the migrants whilst establishing and reinforcing the synergies between the services in the respect of the local specificities. They notably improved the knowledge of the migrant population in its diversity within the community. They allowed us putting in practice the adapted individual answers but also improving the well-being of the territorial communities. They developed new "satellites" observatories that are respectively in OVIEDO and in GUADALAJARA. Since 2004, ACCEM has projected to develop a larger network of local observatories on the basis of these experiences. The objective is to harmonize a common language, to widen the vision of the needs and to improve the articulation between the three levels: local, regional and national. In a first time, the CATALYSE tools were harmonized in each observatory by all the partners who are involved in the latter. From now on, they are harmonized in all the observatories and they are used by two new ones, in SEVILLA and in LEÓN. Now, the project e-gorrion aims at putting online the tools to make them more accessible and to develop some answers in real time.
