As part of its efforts to strengthen the participation of all Libyans in the process of reconciliation, UNSMIL and UNDP today launched the “Al-Solh Khair” (“Reconciliation is Good”) media campaign.
Here it begins! Sitting at our compound in Tripoli, we were watching the World Cup Final. The tension was palpable, with several dozen pairs of eyes chained to the screens. Goal, another one! Is another one coming?
His Excellency, the Italian Ambassador to Libya, Mr. Giuseppe Perrone, and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Director to Libya, Mr. Sultan Hajiyev, signed the agreement today in support of local reconciliation and mediation efforts in Libya.
With UNDP and EU support, Toyota Libya will train a new batch of 20 trainees, to develop their skills and improve their chance to find a job. Apply before 25 June 2018.

The Stabilization Facility for Libya
Led by the Government of the National Accord (GNA), supported by UNDP and the international community, the Stabilization Facility for Libya aims to help the GNA to demonstrate its value to the country’s citizens in providing visible and tangible results for the population at the local level. Support aims at rehabilitating critical infrastructure; boosting the capacity of local authorities to address the needs of the population; and enhancing local mediation and conflict resolution capacities.
Strengthening Local Capacities for Resilience and Recovery
With fund from the European Union, UNDP has started this three-years initiative that will be implemented in close cooperation with national and international partners. The aim is to strength local authorities capacities to serve the people in Tripoli, Sabratha, Sabha, Murzuq, Bemghazi and Al Kufra.
What we do
UNDP is the UN’s global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in some 170 countries and territories, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners. UNDP has been working in Libya since 1976. Over the years we have re-aligned our support to meet emerging priorities in the country. Since the outbreak of conflict in 2014 and the deteriorating humanitarian situation, we continue to support Libya's transition to an inclusive political agreement, accountable governance, stabilization, economic recovery and resilience.
