The purpose of the Project is to support the revival of the agricultural sector and the promotion of self-entrepreneurship in agriculture through the transfer of skills and knowledge to farmers in Fezzan alongside the provision of machineries in order to ensure the quantitative and qualitative improvement of agricultural productions, the improvement of the agricultural labour market and therefore an increase in employment opportunities for the local population and migrants, with a special focus on youth as being the most exposed to the risk of undertaking irregular migration. The project is funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (Directorate General for Italian Citizens Abroad and Migration Policies) through the Migration Fund and it is implemented by CIHEAM Bari with international and national partners from the local institutions and the Civil Society.
