Summary
The Professionalisation Support to Libya’s Attorney General’s Office and Criminal Research and Training Centre (PRO-AGO) project, funded by the Netherlands’ Ministry of Justice and Security through the Migration Partnership Programme, is a nationally anchored initiative designed in direct response to the priorities and requests of Libya’s judicial authorities to provide targeted support for the Criminal Research and Training Centre (CRATC) under the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) as a key institution for training and capacity development within the justice sector.
PRO-AGO has been designed to address core gaps: the need for structured and modern training, improved institutional frameworks, and broader reach to prosecutors and investigators across the country, including remote areas, on capacity development, while leveraging the CRATC to roll out accessible training programmes, supported by digital learning tools and new content development capabilities.
Objectives
By investing in people, processes, and platforms, PRO-AGO seeks to support Libya’s justice institutions in becoming more professional, connected, and ready to respond to today’s complex migration challenges while protecting the human rights of affected migrants.
The overall objective of the project is to enhance Libya’s judicial response to migration-related organised crime through sustainable institutional development with the aim to:
- Strengthen and expand the CRATC’s learning infrastructure.
- Improve the capacity of AGO and its partners from the public administration, such as Ministry of Interior and Justice sector personnel to effectively respond to migration-related organised crime and protect the human rights of migrants.
- Strengthen cooperation between Libya’s Government and international partners on migration-related organised crime.
