Libyan organisation. The Group thus provides a space for international implementers to share good
practices and lessons learned from their own experiences and offers the opportunity to avoid
duplication of work and the overburdening of beneficiaries.

In addition to participating to the fourth plenary meeting of the Group in July 2022, ICMPD has closely
collaborated with the Group in drafting a CSO briefing paper titled “Insights and recommendations for
meaningful engagement of Civil Society Organisations in Libya”, which at the end of the reporting
period was in the process of being finalised. The paper aims to provide a general understanding on
what it means to work with Libyan CSOs as an international actor, and what are the main
recommendations to follow when engaging with Libyan organisations based on the experience and
lessons learnt by the CSO Coordination Group’s members themselves. The document mainly targets
the donor community and other international stakeholders interested in providing support to Libyan
CSOs. Throughout the drafting process, ICMPD proactively reached out to the Group’s members to
first discuss the ideas for paper’s structure, and afterwards to coordinate and provide inputs for the
editing process. Once finalised, the paper will also be translated into Arabic to allow for wider
dissemination.

List of CSOs with which ICMPD plans to work:

While the preparation for the activities with Libyan CSOs were ongoing, ICMPD was suggested by the
Libyan authorities to send to the MFA the list of CSOs with which ICMPD plans to work under the
LIBMITAF project. ICMPD compiled the list to be sent through official Note Verbale by including the
name and geographical location of the Libyan organisations.

In order to ensure a conflict-sensitive approach and to eliminate any potential harmful consequence
for CSOs themselves, ICMPD bilaterally contacted all CSOs’ representatives and specifically asked for
their consent to be included in such an exercise. The vast majority of Libyan CSOs agreed to be
included in the list and ICMPD is currently waiting for the MFA to give authorisation to send the
abovementioned CSOs’ list.

asking for a specific training on migration terminology and concepts, which also serves as preparation for other activities
organized within the framework of this project.
