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.
