TOP-UP - Managing mixed migration flows: Enhancing protection and assistance for those in need in Libya

The programme 'TOP-UP Managing mixed migration flows: Enhancing protection and assistance for those in need in Libya' aims to strengthen protection and resilience of vulnerable migrants and migrants at risk, refugees and host communities (including Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and returnees) in Libya, while supporting efforts to improve migration management along the migration routes in the country.
This programme aims to continue to support interventions in particular under the Programme "Managing mixed migration flows in Libya through expanding protection space and supporting local socio-economic development" (T05-EUTF-NOA-LY-03).
This programme benefits from a co-funding from UNHCR.

Main objectives

The overall objective of this Action is to strengthen protection and resilience of vulnerable migrants and migrants at risk, refugees and host communities (including Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and returnees) in Libya, while supporting efforts to improve migration management along the migration routes in the country. This Action aims to continue to support interventions for vulnerable migrants, refugees and their host communities in Libya set forth in 2017 under the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for stability and addressing root causes of irregular migration and displaced persons in Africa (i.e. “Trust Fund”), in particular as part of the Programme "Managing mixed migration flows in Libya through expanding protection space and supporting local socio-economic development" (T05EUTF-NOA-LY-03). It seeks to reduce and mitigate the risks faced by some vulnerable groups such as victims of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), non-registered refugees and irregular migrants stranded in Libya, while responding to their specific needs.

The specific objective of the project is to improve access to and the quality of services for target groups and host communities through:
- Improved direct multi-sectoral assistance and protection to migrants, refugees and host communities in different locations inside Libya, in particular inside detention centres, at disembarkation points and in urban settings. (immediate outcome/Result 1);
- Improved knowledge and capacity of local stakeholders related to protection (immediate outcome/Result 2);
- Emergency evacuations of stranded and vulnerable persons of concern to UNHCR out of Libya (immediate outcome/Result 3)
