In the framework of its monthly missions to Libya, the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) representatives have visited Tripoli to meet with Libyan counterparts to discuss ICMPD activities in Libya. The activity took place under the framework of the EU-funded project “Strategic and Institutional Management of Migration in Libya”.

Upon arrival to Tripoli, the ICMPD Libya team met with the Secretary and Legal Advisor of the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR) to discuss the work of the HoR on migration and cooperation mechanisms with ICMPD.

Fruitful meetings were also held with Dr. Abdunasser Segayer, Chair of the National Team for Border and Security Management (NTSBM), as well as with Mr. Hatem Gharmul of the International Cooperation Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), and Mr. Mohamed Musbah of the International Organisations Department of the MFA and ICMPD Focal Point.

Lastly, two ICMPD events took place during the mission to Tripoli: a workshop with networks of local Libyan CSOs and a preparatory meeting on the National Consultation on Migration with a group of Libyan civil servants, independent experts, civil society and private sector members.

The aim of the “Strategic and Institutional Management of Migration in Libya” project, which is implemented by ICMPD in collaboration with the Libyan National Team for Border Security and Management (NTBSM), is to support the efforts to improve the management of migration flows and the conditions of migrants in Libya.
