UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

 

For every child, Future  :

Since 2014, Libya has faced waves of armed conflict and political stalemate which has resulted in the emergence of parallel administrations, a government in the East along the UN-backed Government of National Accord in the West, and marginalization of the South. Successive governments have struggled to  assert control amid the proliferation of rival political parties and armed groups, fueled by competing external political agendas. The result has been a steady deterioration of basic services throughout Libya and a fragilized relationship between the central state and the municipalities. This has critically affected the well-being of children across Libya.

Prior to 2011, UNICEF’s programme for Libya consisted of upstream technical guidance and advocacy to the Libyan government; UNICEF LCO had a limited budget and a small staff structure. The Revolution in 2011, the outbreak of armed conflict in 2014, the sharp increase in armed conflict during 2019 and at the beginning of 2020, as well as the subsequent deterioration of basic service delivery has made it necessary for LCO to expand its programming to respond to emerging needs, including increasing human resources and funding. In 2014, UNICEF and other UN agencies were forced to evacuate from Libya and shift to a remote programming approach. In May 2018, UNICEF international staff fully returned to Tripoli after nearly four years of remote management from Tunisia. At present, UNICEF international staff rotate into Libya on a regular basis and UNICEF maintains an office in both Tunis and Tripoli.

UNICEF’s last CPD was for 2013-2014 (extended 4 times, until 2018). UNICEF has begun to implement its new expanded County Programme (2019-2020) on 1 January 2019. This CPD has been extended until 2021. The new CPD is fully funded and has led to a significant and rapid increase in the scaleup of programmes and operations within UNICEF. The current CPD was developed in close collaboration with the Ministry of Planning and other relevant line ministries. It is fully aligned with the UN Strategic Framework for Libya (2019-2020, extended to 2021).
