#Migration #Libya Do you know that more than 30% (personal estimate) of national @UNHCRLibya partner staff have resigned in the last 2 years? Can you guess why?

- Those are experienced people who held key positions & managed the work since 2014 when #UNHCR wasn't on the ground.

- One has refused a management position just because of the current mess & the sudden redirection of #refugees from GDF/Detention to the CDC.
- Others were burning out due to the moral clashes they face in their daily work that contradicts their idea of #humanitarianPrinciples

Many others including myself 3 years ago, I was a partner staff to #UNHCR in #Libya
I wasn't satisfied with the knowledge gap& the top-down approach from UNHCR to its frontline partners as risk transfer strategy, AND for not providing efficient aid while we had potential+capacity

Another excerpt from my research :
My data went further than the question and indicated that harm on staff from the current #migration management of #UNHCR & #IOM in #Libya due to being donor-driven and drifting from #humanitarian principles 👇

A final note :
There's also a turn-over of international staff of #UNHCR #Libya partners, reported by a UNHCR expat as part of my research.
However, I haven't looked closely at this but it would be worth exploring.
