To assess the circumstances of long-term migrants in conflict-affected Libya, IOM Libya’s Research Team, Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme and the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) conducted this study in 2019 with a mixed-methods approach consisting of a literature review, semi structured interviews with key experts, and a survey administered to 1,300 long-term migrants in Libya.
The study aims to shed more light on the circumstances of migrants who have stayed in Libya for more than a year by examining the situation of long-term migrants in terms of livelihoods, remittances, security and migration intentions to provide a better understanding of their circumstances.
