Study on Libyans Living Abroad

The EU-funded and ICMPD-implemented project ‘Strategic and institutional management of migration in Libya’, which aims at supporting the development of prerequisites for effective migration governance in Libya, developed a first-of-its-kind study providing comprehensive look at the Libyan communities abroad and mapping the pertaining institutional framework, leading to key policy recommendations towards sustainable engagement strategies. Based on its findings, a first capacity building on the benefits and possibilities of diaspora engagement was held for ca. 15 officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant ministries in February 2020 concluding with the presentation of a priority list of future action.
