Libya's Migration Technical Assistance Facility - Interim Report 01/04/2021 - 31/03/2022
ICMPD accompanied the official Libyan delegation36 to the Khartoum Process Senior Officials'
Meeting (SOM) in Kampala, Uganda on 22 and 23 March 202237. In preparation for the conference,
ICMPD organised a preparation meeting for the Libyan delegates upon their arrival in Kampala, where
they were briefed on the agenda, the main points of discussion and procedural matters of the
dialogue. In addition, ICMPD facilitated a number of relevant bilateral meetings for the Libyan
delegation with delegations from other countries present at the SOM. The event was therefore a good
opportunity for the Libyan delegation to meet and engage with other delegations, including the Swiss
delegation and the delegation of the European Union.
The SOM was highly valuable as it contributed to the capacity and knowledge enhancement of the
Libyan delegates via a "learning by doing" approach, thereby contributing to the overall concrete
understanding of the Libyan delegates with regard to the migration dialogue and the benefits it
provides for Libya, and it was a good occasion for the new Libyan Khartoum Process Focal Point to
experience an in-person dialogue meeting. This will contribute to him being able to successfully
participate in and Libyan delegations to future Khartoum Process dialogue meetings. In addition, the
event presented a good opportunity for ICMPD to build positive relations with the direct counterparts
in the Libyan MFA, which will contribute positively to future implementation of the project.
Lastly, towards the end of March, the preparations for the participation of the Libyan delegation to
the Rabat Process High Level Thematic Meeting on "Migration and Development in 2022: the Role
of Cooperation in Migration; New Actors for a New Context" that was planned for 12-13 May 2022
in Madrid, Spain, were launched.
Therefore, after a phase of absence in the migration dialogues due to administrative and rotation
reasons within the Libyan MFA, the project accomplished the return of the Libyan delegations to these
two major migration dialogues (the Rabat and Khartoum Process).
5.3. Development of Monitoring and Evaluation tools
A number of internal monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tools have been developed which will facilitate
the monitoring of progress on the strategic objective, specific objectives, immediate outcomes, and
outputs as outlined in the project logframe38. The following tools have been developed:
To monitor progress of the strategic and specific objectives as well as the immediate
outcomes, a baseline survey was developed with the aim to collect data against the indicators
outlined in the logframe. The baseline survey39, which posed questions matching the
indicators, was shared via SurveyMonkey with a total of 24 relevant Libyan stakeholders
working on migration at the beginning of the project to establish the baseline. The
development of the baseline survey required careful consideration to ensure that the
formulation of the survey questions was methodologically correct (e.g. use of terminology in
EN versus AR, correct scaling of the possible answers, ensuring correct definitions etc.), which
was an elaborate process. Eventually, after three months and several reminders and direct
follow-up calls with the participants, the project received the responses of a total of 14

38 See Chapter 6 for the logframe, which includes proposed amendments to the logframe in alignment with the changes to
the project activities.

Libya's Migration Technical Assistance Facility - Interim Report 01/04/2021 - 31/03/2022
participants40. While the survey would ideally have received a higher number of responses,
based on previous experience conducting surveys with the Libyan administration, this was a
relatively good level of response, giving a good indication of how Libyan stakeholders working
on migration perceive the current situation. At the end of the project, the baseline survey with
the same questions will be answers by the same participants in order to measure and evaluate
the progress made;
To monitorthe outputs outlined in the logframe, an activity tracker and an indicator tracker41
have been developed. Specifically, the activity tracker will facilitate the monitoring of data for
each activity organized (e.g. number of participants, gender disaggregation, type of
stakeholder, key results etc.). The indicator tracker will facilitate the monitoring of the number
of activities, to ensure that the output targets are met;
An activity matrix has been developed, which will allow for monitoring which participants
participate in which activities. This will ensure that the project team can easily invite
participants who have participated in earlier activities to participate in future relevant
activities. This will contribute to enhancing the long-term knowledge and skills of participants
and contributing to sustainability of the project and its outcomes.
The project team will continuously consult stakeholders and partners throughout the implementation
phase to evaluate and understand progress on the deliverables, and to adapt activities as necessary,
as well as ensure that data is properly collected.
5.4. Gender Sensitivity Assessment and Recommendations
ICMPD is committed to ensuring the full, equal, and meaningful participation of both Libyan and
international women in project activities. Given the societal gender norms around the role of Libyan
women in public and professional life, there is a comparatively lower number of women in key roles,
particularly within government institutions, but also in civil society and academia. With the view to
encourage the participation of women and to challenge societal gender norms, the project team
conducted a gender sensitivity assessment and developed a number of recommendations for how to
ensure gender-sensitivity throughout the project. A number of consultations were therefore held with
gender experts, Libyan women, and other international partners, with the aim to share good practices
and recommendations42.
The consultations were met with a positive response, with many participants highlighting the
importance of ensuring gender-sensitivity in projects, and welcoming the efforts made by ICMPD to
consult other stakeholders on this topic. While this is an ongoing effort and the project team continued
to consult other partners and consider ways to become more gender-sensitive, the following
recommendations have been developed:
To encourage the participation of women in project activities:
To facilitate an open environment that encourages women to participate in trainings,
workshops, and other events:
o Break out into smaller groups (potentially with women only) to create a more
protective space, especially at the beginning of capacity strengthening activities;
40 The baseline survey was anonymous, which means that ICMPD does not know which participants responded with which
answers to the questions.
41 See the Inception Report of the project in Annex 10 for the activity tracker and the indicator tracker.
42 See Inception Report Annex 10 for more details on the gender-sensitivity consultations held.
28
Libya's Migration Technical Assistance Facility - Interim Report 01/04/2021 - 31/03/2022
o Ensure that there are women trainers/facilitator and that women are also trained to
become trainers (via ToTs);
o Organize preparatory workshops (e.g. focusing on capacity strengthening) with
women only to the extent possible;
o Given that it is sometimes difficult for women to speak up and express their opinions
in the Libyan society, while they might more easily express themselves via writing,
innovative ways to collect opinions and perspectives will be explored such as the use
of sticky-notes which will allow women participants to anonymously share their
opinions or written preparation in advance of trainings;
o Trainers/facilitators will be made aware that they should make a conscious effort to
ensure the inclusive participation of all genders during activities.
All material and documents will be shared in English and Arabic. Interpretation will also be
available, and when possible, trainings/workshops will be held in Arabic.
Given that many Libyan women are not trained or used to participating in discussion and
dialogue, questions and material will be shared ahead of trainings/workshops to allow them
to prepare.
When organizing activities, a quota will be set as regards how many women participants are
required to participate. Moreover, the project team will formulate specific criteria for
activities, including as regards experience, so that women who match these criteria will be
invited to participate.
Based on observations made during previous activities during which it became evident that
activities organised in Libya saw the participation of more women, a dedicated effort will be
made to organise more activities in Libya to make it easier for women to participate.
To ensure substantive gender mainstreaming in the project·.
All new staff within the project team, and experts to the extent feasible, will be informed
about what gender mainstreaming is and how it should be considered in the work of the
project. A paragraph has been added to the Terms of References for new experts to inform
them about gender-sensitivity and request them to include a gender dimension in their
assignment.
As regards policies and legislation, a dedicated effort will be made to focus on how migration
and migration policy might be gendered, and how this should be addressed. This will be done
in consultation with women experts to the extent possible.
The project team will ensure, to the extent possible, that activities and outputs will include a
gender analysis/dimension.
A dedicated effort will be made to consult more women experts and examples of women role
models who have accomplished important work in the migration field will be used more
actively during events to showcase positive results as well as why it is important to include
women to achieve better migration governance.
As regards communication and visibility, more publications that have a gender dimension will
be shared (e.g. via the project newsletter), and the project team will ensure that all
publications have a gender dimension.
29
Libya's Migration Technical Assistance Facility - Interim Report 01/04/2021 - 31/03/2022
Moreover, the project team will ensure that gender-disaggregated data is collected throughout the
project to ensure that the gender balance of the participants, trainers, and speakers, at workshops
are monitored.
The project team will also continue to make an effort to consult relevant stakeholders, including the
newly established Women's Affairs Office at Mol and the Ministry of Social Affairs to explore ways to
engage more women during the project.
Moreover, ICMPD has participated in the Gender Responsive Rule of Law, Justice and Security
roundtable meetings hosted by EUBAM, and will continue to do so, with the aim to ensure
coordination and synergy with other international actors working on gender issues.
5.5. Conflict Sensitivity Assessment and Recommendations
The project team regularly participates in the sessions of the Conflict Sensitivity Assistance (CSA)
Forum in Libya43 as well as the workshops on conflict analysis and conflict sensitive M&E organised by
PCI in order to give particular importance to the issue. The acquired knowledge allowed the project
team to organise an in-house conflict sensitivity assessment to identify the main potential negative
and positive impacts that the implementation of the project might have on the peace and conflict
factors in Libya. Following the internal team assessment, a consultation meeting was held with PCI to
receive their inputs and recommendations as regards the conflict-sensitivity assessment. PCI
welcomed the efforts made by ICMPD to conduct the conflict-sensitivity assessment, which was
commended, and they welcomed the initiative of ICMPD to consult PCI.
The following recommendations were developed44:
To avoid creating tension between stakeholders, the project will ensure transparency towards
all stakeholders about which activities are organized with whom. Moreover, a proper analysis
will be conducted for each activity to ensure that all relevant stakeholders are invited.
Setting up of a proper due diligence system for the vetting
participants (e.g. law enforcement officials) to project activities. A meeting was held with^
to discuss due diligence processes. She expressed her
appreciation that ICMPD had inquired about these issues given the importance of
strengthening awareness of the Human Rights Due Diligence Policy (HRDDP), and it was
suggested that ICMPD could share potential participants to project trainings with UNSMIL who
can undertake an assessment of the affiliation of potential participants. As recommended by
PCI and UNSMIL, the project team will regularly consult colleagues from other organisations
who might work more directly with the relevant participants.
Ensuring that Libyan stakeholders are continuously consulted about the activities with Libyans
living abroad and ensure that national and international experts are consulted as regards the
potential risks and opportunities.
Ensure proactive and transparent communication as regards migration dialogues about the
criteria based on which participants/focal points to migration dialogues are selected.
To enhance the participation of women, a gender-sensitivity assessment has been conducted
and recommendations have been developed.
43 ICMPD participated in the CSA Forums on June 3rd 2021, September 16th 2021, October 7th 2021, December 9th 2021, and
February 17th 2022.
44 See Annex 8 for the complete conflict-sensitivity report with all the details.
30
Libya's Migration Technical Assistance Facility - Interim Report 01/04/2021 - 31/03/2022
A balanced and fair staff selection process with clearly defined procedures and selection
criteria has informed the hiring of the Libyan APO and PA based in Tripoli, Libya. Similar
procedures have been conducted for the hiring of external experts and service providers.
The project continuously monitors the risks and opportunities in accordance with the peace and
conflict developments in Libya and adjusts its approach accordingly.
5.6. Participation in External Events
ICMPD participated in a number of external events with the view to represent the project and build
connections with other stakeholders working on relevant topics in Libya. See table 5 below for an
overview of the external events in which ICMPD participated.

6. Updated Logframe matrix
Given the amendments made to the activities in the Implementation Phase Work Plan following the consultations with the Libyan stakeholders, ICMPD
proposes to make several changes to the logframe to ensure that the logframe corresponds better to the activities that will be implemented, allowing for the
more accurate monitoring and evaluation of the results that will be achieved during the course of the project. The proposed changes are highlighted in green
in the logframe below.
