Libya’s Migration Technical Assistance Facility – Inception Report
11. Conclusion and Way Forward
The stakeholder consultations and the other activities undertaken during the Inception Phase, as
outlined above, informed the design of the proposed Implementation Phase Work Plan (see Annex I).
Activity Strand 1: Support to the Libyan authorities in their efforts to engage Libyans Living Abroad.
To enhance the engagement of Libyans Living Abroad, which was identified as an important action,
the focus will be on two separate strands of work: (1) Consular Crisis Preparedness, which will focus
on enhancing the capacities of the Libyan authorities, (2) Support to Libyans Living Abroad
Organisations. As regards Consular Crisis Preparedness, a programme design study will take place in
the first months of the implementation phase to create a ToT programme in line with available
resources. The activities that will be undertaken as regards the support to Libyans Living Abroad will
have the primary aim to foster enhanced communication and dialogue between the Libyan authorities
(incl. Libyan Embassies/Consulates) and the Libyan communities abroad, including by increasing trust
and establishing enhanced frameworks for communication. With many Libyans Living Abroad
organisations still being at the beginning of their journey, the initial focus will be on individualised
support to them. Later on, a study visit for different pilot organisations to meet and allow for peer
exchange will be organised, possibly leading up to a final study visit bringing together Libyan
authorities and Libyans Living Abroad organisations. If deemed feasible, a National Conference will be
organised as suggested by the former Interim Head of the Department for Expatriate Affairs, which
will bring together all relevant stakeholders, including the Libyan institutions and the Libyans Living
Abroad Organisations.
Activity Strand 2: Facilitation for Libyan Delegations’ active participation in international and regional
migration dialogues.
The support to the participation in and accompaniment to, international and regional migration
dialogues was highlighted by most stakeholders as an important effort that needs to be continued. In
response to the concrete suggestion by the DI to develop a training course on migration dialogues to
be included in a curriculum for young Libyan diplomats, the design of such a training package for the
DI has been included in the WP. This specific activity will contribute to ensuring the sustainability of
the participation of Libya in future migration dialogues. Other than that, preparation and
accompaniment to four most relevant different dialogue meetings will be organised in close
cooperation with the Dialogues’ Secretariats (meetings and their agendas still to be defined by
dialogues).
Activity Strand 3: Support to the Libyan authorities in strengthening the legislative framework on
migration.
As regards the work on the Legislative Framework on migration, some of the main priorities identified
included the need for capacity enhancing activities, trainings on legislative drafting, and preparatory
work. As such, in the project’s initial months the proposed actions mainly include the roll-out of a
training programme on the legislative framework on migration as well as a ToT programme to ensure
the sustainability of this action, as consulted parties perceived capacity enhancement as a relevant
entry point to the topic. In response to the MoJ’s specific request for activities focusing on
international conventions and frameworks, a dedicated activity focusing on the analysis of
international standards as regards migration has been included in the WP. Moreover, given the
suggestion by the MoJ to create a library with relevant documentation on migration as well as the
specific request by the HoR to focus on legislative research, an activity has been included to support
the Research Centre of the HoR with the creation of a database on legal literature on migration, which
22
Libya’s Migration Technical Assistance Facility – Inception Report
will facilitate access for all stakeholders working on migration to relevant research and literature.
Other policy support actions include the follow up on the recommendations of the Legal Assessment,
support to law drafting skills, and support to the review of specific thematic legislation (thematic area
to be defined during follow-up on the recommendations of the Legal Assessment).
Activity Strand 4: Support to the Libyan CSOs working on migration in reinforcing their work and role
Based on the consultation with the CSOs, the priority areas of the CSOs include capacity enhancement
as regards networking and report drafting, the inclusion of CSOs in the work on legislative
development, the creation of the national CSOs platform, as well as the engagement between the
CSOs and Libyans Living Abroad. In response to the CSOs specific request to be engaged in the work
as regards the Legislative Framework on Migration, a workshop and study visit have been proposed in
the WP that focus on the migration legislation to prepare them for such a role. In addition, the CSO
needs assessment, which will be conducted during the first three months of the Implementation
Phase, will identify any other needs or priorities of the CSOs that might need to be addressed.
The WP will be presented to the key government stakeholders during the first week of September, to
receive their final eventual inputs and feedback as regards the proposed activities. In addition to the
proposed activities in the WP, other activities can be designed and implemented in response to any
specific needs and priorities that may arise during the Implementation Phase.
Following the presentation of the WP, the project will be launched officially in Tripoli, Libya, which will
be followed by the first meeting of the Operational Steering Committee.

ANNEX III - Communication and Visibility Strategy
In order to ensure the visibility of the EU and the Swiss Confederation as well as the wide
dissemination of the achievements and results of the project throughout the project Implementation
Phase, a number of communication and visibility efforts will be made by ICMPD as outlined below. All
efforts will be implemented in line with the official EU Communication and Visibility Guidelines,
including as regards promotional material, publications, and other outputs. Moreover, given the
complicated situation in Libya and the sensitive nature of the topic of migration in the country, due
consideration will be given to the operational environment. The project will therefore pursue a
communication and visibility strategy based on limited and carefully targeted outreach in close
collaboration with the EU Delegation to Libya and the Swiss Embassy to Libya.
A conscious effort will also be made to ensure that an inclusive and gender-sensitive approach is taken
to communication and visibility actions, including by ensuring that the voices and perspectives of
women and youth are taken into consideration and highlighted.
More specifically, the following communication and visibility tools will be used to ensure the visibility
of the project:
External communication:
The project team will maintain close contact with the cooperation and communications staff
of the EU Delegation as well as the Swiss Embassy to ensure coordination and to plan the
visibility of certain activities.
The EU Delegation and the Swiss Embassy will be invited to every relevant meeting or event
organised, with opening and/or closing remarks wherever possible.
In May 2020, ICMPD launched a new official website including a dedicated project page for
the LIBMITAF project15, which will be used by the project team to share news and publications
related to the project activities.
A product brochure/factsheet will be produced about the project, containing information
about the objectives of the project and its main activity strands, which will be publicly
available on the dedicated project page on the LIBMITAF project page and which will be shared
with all relevant stakeholders and partners when relevant. Moreover, the brochure will be
printed and disseminated at all relevant occasions and events.
After each event, the project team will draft press releases as well as a Tweet suggestion to
be shared via the channels of the donors, and ICMPD will further disseminate the press
releases issued by the donors via the ICMPD channels.
Whenever relevant, ICMPD will publish project news articles that will be shared on the main
ICMPD website by the ICMPD communications team.
ICMPD will share a project newsletter, which will include project-specific updates as well as
news and publications on migration.
ICMPD will open an official “ICMPD in Libya” Twitter account where all the tweets published
by the EU Delegation and the Swiss Embassy will be retweeted as well as any relevant and
appropriate updates as regards the project will be shared. The project team has decided, in
agreement with the project donors and the ICMPD communications team, to scale up their
social media presence with the aim to enhance the visibility and awareness of the project, and
to more easily share information. ICMPD will therefore open a Twitter account, which will
