Rationale Restricted (bilateral dissemination only upon agreed dissemination list, no publication on REACH or other platforms) REACH and UNHCR logos will be used throughout the project 2.1. Rationale Refugees and migrants (R&M) are one of the most vulnerable populations in Libya, as most of them are in the country without legal papers and work irregularly, exposed to rights violations and exploitation. Currently, it is not known how these individuals are paid for their work, ie in kind, cash, through to their country of origin. This is of importance, as R&M in the country cannot open a bank account and research by REACH suggests that carrying cash puts R&M at risk of robbery and kidnapping, as militia groups tend to know of the payment modalities and take advantage of R&M s vulnerable situation. At the same time, it is not clear how the ongoing liquidity crisis has impacted R&M in the country, whether they are being paid at all, as well as how R&M money back home vis a vis the lack of Western Union and official money mechanisms. The aim of this assessment is hence to explore R&M access to cash and other assets, its storage and, as well as to understand better how the liquidity crisis impacted R&M in the country. 3. Methodology 2.1. Methodology overview The study will be qualitative, building on semi structured interviews with R&M sampled purposively in the four main economic hubs in the country. Sampling 3

4 Data collection sites will be selected on their being main economic hubs in Libya, known for hosting large R&M populations, and to represent the main geographic regions in the country (east, west, south) and include: Tripoli, Misrata, Sebha, Ejdabiyah. Respondents (R&M) will be sampled purposively on the basis of their area of origin and intention on whether to stay in Libya or transit to Italy. To triangulate information collected from R&M, a number of key informant interviews (KIs) will be administered with individuals with good knowledge of the situation and include R&M employers and economic experts on the situation in Libya. Questionnaires will be administered face to face and be semi-structured, including both questions to tick relevant boxes and free text entry. Research questions: 1. How do refugees and migrants interact with assets and money, ie how do they receive it, how do they store it, how do they it? 2. Has and, if so, how has the liquidity crisis impacted refugees and migrants and their interaction with assets and money in Libya? 3. What are the coping mechanisms refugees and migrants employ vis a vis the challenges surrounding cash? 4. How do refugees and migrants aiming to transit to Italy from Libya fund their journey within Libya and to Italy? The focus will be on R&M outside detention centres and include both recently arrived individuals and those who have stayed in the country for longer term Population of interest Locations: Tripoli, Misrata, Sebha, Ejdabiyah, selected on their being the main economic hubs in the country and representing the three different regions in Libya (east, west, north, which are impacted differently by the liquidity crisis). Population: R&M, selected on area of origin and intention on whether to stay in Libya or transit to Italy Secondary data review IOM DTM will be used to determine locations of interviews. REACH data will be used to aid understanding of context and inform assessment methodology Primary Data Collection Method Data will be collected through a mix of SDR and primary data collection (DC) with primary DC conducted in each project location through individual interviews with R&M and key informant interviews with individuals who are knowledgeable on migration and money. 4 Data collectors will be either (1) REACH Field managers or (2) REACH partners, who will have been selected on the basis of their experience in doing data collection in the location of interest and their network in migration-related matters. Given that all partners selected have conducted DC for REACH on migration before and the questionnaire will be relatively straightforward, the data collection training will be conducted remotely. All data collectors will be trained prior the start of DC via one to one skype calls, during which the aim of the study, the data collection tools and definitions will be explained and shared. 4 Profiles of key informants will include business owners who employ refugees and migrants, humanitarian aid workers who are involved in the cash response to refugees and migrants and other persons knowledgeable about refugees and migrants interaction with cash in the country. 4

5 KIIs will be used to capture the overall macro picture of the liquidity crisis and payment modalities for R&M in Libya. IIs with R&M will be used to provide in-depth qualitative information on how individuals respond and store assets, providing a more micro view of the dynamics. Sampling: Locations are sampled on the basis of their being the main economic hubs in the country, hosting large R&M populations and representing the three main regions in the country which were affected differently by the liquidity crisis in Libya. Key informants will be selected on the basis of their expertise on migration and cash in the city they will be asked about. This may include employers or experts on the economic situation in the country. For each city, the REACH Project Officer, under guidance of the AM, will liaise directly with Field managers/partners to jointly identify appropriate key informants in advance. A total of 5 KIs per location will be administered. R&M: will be selected in the locations purposively based on their area of origin and intention on whether to stay in Libya or transit to Italy. In each location, 30 interviews will be administered. Table 1: Interview stratification overview Transit migrants Migrants staying in Tot. Libya MENA West Africa East Africa Tot Tools Two tools will be developed: (1) KI semi-structured interviews with experts on money & migration; (2) individuals semistructured in-depth questionnaires to be conducted with R&M. Both semi-structured interview tools will be built on a pre-determined data analysis plan (see indicator list and analysis plan below). Lessons learnt will be incorporated from previous REACH migration assessments, notably IMPACT Mixed migration study, REACH/MERF study on access to resources and REACH UNHCR Mixed Migration output no1. The tools will include both open and closed questions. They will be drafted by the Assessment Manager (AM) in English and then translated by a professional translator into Arabic. Thereafter, they will be discussed with REACH field staff in Libya to make sure that the Arabic is Libya-specific. Triangulation, briefing and debriefing of Field staff Regular briefing and debriefing activities will be conducted with field staff over skype. Before the start of DC, each field staff will be asked to share a preliminary workplan; thereafter, regular briefing and debriefing sessions over skype will be organised. Based on previous REACH experience, there will not be daily brief/debriefs, due to the unreliable internet connection and enumerator fatigue in the face of too many briefing/debriefing sessions. Rather, Field staff will be asked to share a completed questionnaire as soon as they are completed, for the Assessment Manager (AM) to provide feedback first via mail, but then to also discuss over skype. Given the limited number of KI interviews per field staff, this process will be deemed to be the most reliable to ensure the gathering of quality information. All data will be triangulated with secondary data and any incongruences will be followed up upon during debrief sessions Data Processing & Analysis Data will be recorded manually by field managers in Arabic on basis of previous REACH experience in Libya, this way the most detailed information can be captured. Thereafter, the field staff will transcribe the interview on computer; then the REACH Project officer will translate the interview into English. Thereupon, the AM will read through the transcript, clarify any questions/incongruences during a debrief session and clean the transcript accordingly. 5

6 As each interview has been cleaned, the transcript will be coded using Atlas Ti, using a data saturation grid, on which basis the data will be analysed. Findings will be reported for the overall situation and, where possible disaggregated analysis will be conducted based on different locations, refugees and migrants who intend to transit vs to stay in Libya, as well as by area of origin. 3.
