About the project
Migration is an international phenomenon affecting several sectors of both the destination and the country of origin. EU is the most targeted destination for migrants and there are three main routes bringing refugees and migrants to it: the Western Mediterranean Route (usually via Morocco to Spain), the Central Mediterranean Route (usually via Libya to Italy) and the Eastern Mediterranean Route (usually via Turkey to Greece).
The Central Mediterranean Route via Libya is the most active one and accounts for the largest number of people crossing by sea to Europe. Libya is both a transit and destination country Migrants in Libya suffer bad conditions and violations.
A large number of reports from local and international organizations show that the humanitarian situation in and out of detention centres in Libya is inhumane on many levels. Migrants at detention centres encounter massive overcrowding, human rights abuses and alarming sanitary conditions.
Overall Objective
In this frame, the Overall Objective of the HGRA project is to improve the capabilities of Libya to manage and mitigate the impact of the Libyan migration crisis both as a destination country and as a country of origin, by strengthening the Higher Education Institutions system.
