A team representing the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) paid a visit to Tripoli, Libya, this month and held fruitful high level meetings.

Upon arrival to Tripoli, the ICMPD Libya team met with Dr Abdunnasser Segayer, Chair of the National Team for Border Security and Management (NTBSM), to review the status of the common work on the White Paper on Border Security and Management Reform, a Contingency Planning Model for Border Management in Libya, and the Migration Governance Curriculum. The partners complimented the continuous excellent cooperation.

A series of other meetings followed to discuss: ICMPD’s technical assistance to issues like the development of a national migration strategy and policy, migration governance at the local level, and labour migration policies; the Cooperation Agreement between Libya and ICMPD; the set-up of a migration governance system and a national strategy on migration; and the migration governance institutional and legislative reform processes that the ICMPD could potentially support.

This mission was organised within the framework of the EU-funded “Strategic and Institutional Management of Migration in Libya” project, which is implemented by ICMPD in collaboration with the NTBSM. Its aim is to support the efforts to improve the management of migration flows and the conditions of migrants in Libya.
