Following the appointment of the new Libyan Focal Points for the Rabat and the Khartoum Processes, ICMPD organised a workshop in Tripoli, Libya to give the new Focal Points an introduction to the general functioning of the two migration dialogues. The workshop took place within the framework of the LIBMITAF project, co-funded by the EU and the Swiss Confederation.
ICMPD has supported the participation of Libyan delegations to regional and international dialogues on migration since 2017. The migration dialogues serve as an important opportunity for countries to engage, to network, and to enhance cooperation and coordination on migration topics with other partner countries.
Given the recent appointment of two new Focal Points for the Rabat Process and the Khartoum Process, ICMPD organised an introductory workshop in Tripoli, to give the Libyan officials a comprehensive briefing on the general functioning of the migration dialogues, including the Joint Valletta Action Plan (JVAP) Follow-up. The workshop gave them the opportunity to dive deeper into the objectives and procedures of the migration dialogues and exchange with the Dialogue Secretariats. The participants welcomed the workshop, noting that it was very beneficial for them to strengthen their knowledge on these dialogue platforms. ICMPD colleagues from the Rabat Process Secretariat, the Khartoum Process Secretariat, the JVAP Follow-up team, as well as the LIBMITAF team, joined virtually and in person in Tripoli, to give presentations on the different aspects. ICMPD looks forward to continuing to support Libya’s participation in future migration dialogues meeting!
