General observations The majority of respondents (72 percent) reported that funding for MLRs was available from at least two different sources. Fifty percent of respondents indicated that the costs of MLRs are borne by private funds (including NGOs’ core funds) and public funds (as well as additional categories in some cases). However, a relatively high proportion (44 percent) indicated that the victim could be expected to bear the cost themselves. This is a concern, bearing in mind that most asylum-seekers will have insufficient personal funds to meet the costs of producing an MLR. Centres in 28 percent of the participating countries answered that at least three types of funding could support the cost of an MLR.
