More EU funds allocated to LibyaBy Sami Zaptia. The package includes €80 million in new funds as well as €30 million reallocated from non-contracted actions under the EUTF. In order to fund these essential new actions, €30 million has been re-allocated from existing Border Management programmes in Libya, which will now amount to €57.2 million. The Trust Fund covers three windows: the Sahel and Lake Chad, the Horn of Africa, and the North of Africa. The EU said that the Trust Fund is also reorienting ongoing interventions in key sectors in Libya to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
