I have repeatedly raised in this Chamber the abuse endured by migrants in the camps in Libya, including sexual violence against women, girls and men. Will the Minister confirm that Libya has been designated a priority country under the UK preventing sexual violence initiative? It should have been.

My right hon. Friend the International Development Secretary yesterday inaugurated exactly the programme the right hon. Lady mentions. It is a matter of great concern to the UK, and we are in contact with the Libyan Government about it. I had a high-level meeting in Geneva last week about the issues she raises.

In Egypt, the Arab Partnership Fund (APF) has recently approved a project with Electoral Reform International Services (ERIS) to promote the participation of women candidates in Egyptian local council elections and engagement of communities with their local councillors.
In Tunisia, the APF has supported a project led by ERIS to support a voter outreach programme targeting women voters in rural areas, and a project with the Westminster Foundation for Democracy to build the capacity of MPs, including training for women MPs.
In Libya, the APF is supporting ERIS to train women to become election observers for the upcoming elections and has also provided a contribution to the UN Electoral Assistance Programme which includes elements to ensure women's participation in elections. The tri-departmental Conflict Pool (FCO/DFID/MOD) is also supporting women's participation in the Libyan political process. It co-funded the first ever Women's Convention in Tripoli in November 2011, and has supported programmes led
by the National Democratic Institute to mobilise women to participate in the electoral process and by Dan Church Aid to enable women to form networks and common platforms to advocate at a national and local level for greater social, economic and political inclusion. Both organisations are working to empower local women's organisations.
In all APF projects, the UK works with project partners to ensure that gender issues are taken into account, and participation is gender-balanced. A regional conflict adviser will shortly be appointed in North Africa, whose responsibilities will include working with women's organisations in support of UNSCR1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
