<p>Since October 2015, the UK has allocated over £175 million of humanitarian assistance
in response to the Mediterranean migration crisis, including substantial support in
Libya. Projects related to migration, dating back to 2015, are listed below.</p><p>As
part of the Department for International Development's £75 million programme supporting
interventions in origin, transit and destination countries across the sub-Saharan
and north African migration routes, up to £5 million will be allocated to humanitarian
assistance and protection for migrants and refugees in Libya. In addition, a new multi-year
programme worth £3.29 million focuses on multi-sector humanitarian assistance and
building capacity of primary health care services.</p><p>These programmes illustrate
the UK's "whole of route" approach to supporting safe, legal and well-managed
migration. Drawing on a range of funding sources, including UK Aid, the UK acts with
and through key partners such as the UN High Commissoner for Refugees (UNHCR) and
the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), and builds the capacity of key
Libyan actors (for example in the criminal justice sector) to provide the long-term
capabilities to tackle the associated threats and drivers.</p><p><strong>The information
