OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
AICS Tunis Office is currently funding two humanitarian projects with the duration of 10 months, one implemented by
the CSO WWGVC and the other one by the consortium Helpcode and Terre des Hommes (TdH) in the Fezzan region in
the framework of the Program “Emergency Program in Libya for the improvement of basic health and protection services
for the most vulnerable population.”
WWGVC project has begun on the 1 June 2021. With regards to the health component, it aims at providing material,
structural and operational support to 6 health facilities and 1 isolation center from the districts of Sebha, Ubari and Wadi
Al Shashati. Part of the activities include the installation of energy solar system, the distribution of medical equipment and
the training of the health personnel on infection prevention and maternal health. Additionally, as part of the protection
component of the project the project foresees the activation of a safe space where women who are victims of gender-based
violence can seek support and assistance.
Helpcode and Terre des Hommes project has officially started on the 10 August 2021 and will work on strengthening the
structural, material and technical capacities of 6 health facilities located in Ubari, Bint Bayya, Alghrayfa and Ghat. In
synergy with WWGVC intervention, Helpcode and TdH activities will include the purchase and distribution of emergency
medical equipment including for non-communicable diseases, installation of solar panel systems, information and
sensitization interventions on sanitation practices, prevention and response to COVID19. Moreover, the project intends to
establish and equip two multifunctional spaces, one in Ubari area and the other in Ghat, where to conduct protection
related activities, especially dedicated to women victim of GBV and children with disabilities.
In addition, AICS Tunis is formulating a Call for proposals for CSOs, with the objective of improving the health and
psychosocial response capacities of the pediatric hospitals in Tripoli, Benghazi, Sebha and Kufra with an overall budget of
3.500.000,00 EUR.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
The three-year programme Recovery, Stability and Socio-economic Development in Libya (RSSD – Libya) is jointly
implemented by AICS (22 million euros), UNDP (18 million euros) and UNICEF (10 million euros) in the framework of
the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa, North of Africa Window.
The programme aims at strengthening the capacities of local public authorities and administrations in providing basic and
social services and improving the access of the population to those services, in key sectors of work as health, education,
and water & sanitation. Specific interventions in the 25 municipalities were technically assessed and prioritised through
bilateral and multilateral consultations with Libyan central and local authorities.
In this framework, AICS works with selected INGOs to implement the rehabilitation of basic service facilities, mostly in
the health sector, through the provision of medical equipment and light rehabilitation works. AICS and INGO implementing
partners are also responsible for providing technical assistance and capacity building to the Libyan municipal authorities on
inclusive service provision, and specific training courses for technicians from each targeted health facility.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
Cefa is operating in Libya since 2017, mainly in the cities of Sebha, Tripoli and Zawiya. Within the framework of 2
projects financed by the Italian Cooperation, CEFA has been previously operating in 2 DCs under the DCIM, seeking to
assist the detained population through the distribution of essential NFIs and food complements to specific vulnerable
groups (mainly breastfeeding women and children). Thanks to the activities carried out by CEFA, the detained population
accessed at least basic services (WASH and Health), essential goods (NFIs, food and hygiene kits) and to access the
identification and monitoring system (through referrals) implemented by the UN agencies in charge of the management of
refugee and migrant communities in Libya. Thank to frequent visits to the detention centers, it was possible to identify the
needs of migrants also from a psychological point of view. So, moments and spaces have been negotiated with the
authorities to carry out recreational activities for mothers and children. Also, complements of food distribution have been
ensured for extremely vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children. WASH interventions have been
implemented in the center of Tarek El Sikka through the support of partner Weworld-GVC (disinfestation, maintenance of
toilets and showers - without making structural interventions). Daily hygiene kits were distributed and regularly
monitored the quantity and quality of water available to migrants within the center. Medical materials (medicines but also
medical equipment) were also provided to clinics in the centers so that access to minimum care could be guaranteed.
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, CEFA was able to shape its activities to better adapt to the needs of the
migrant population. During the months of April, May and June 2020, distributions of personal protective equipment and
hygiene kits were carried out both inside the center of Tarek El Sikka, both outside the structure, in the suburbs of Tripoli.
During the distributions, information material was distributed, and an attempt was made to assist the migrant population to
adopt measures to contain the virus.
The improvement of the living conditions of women and children has been and is one of the main objectives of CEFA in
the country and maternal and child health remains one of the main sector of intervention.
The context of national instability created by the 2011 revolution and then the emergency resulting from the
intensification of the internal conflict that began in 2014, have led to the deterioration of the living standards of the most
vulnerable groups, including women and children, especially migrants. In the context of the traditionally conservative
communities in the country, women’s health already had historical cultural and technical shortcomings. Recent political
dynamics in the country have exacerbated inequalities and further restricted adequate access to basic health services.
Since 2017, CEFA has renovated and equipped 4 health facilities in Sebha and two health facilities in Tripoli, the Tripoli
Medical Center and the Jala'a Hospital specialized in maternal-child health. Intervention in public health facilities means
ensuring better access to services for Libyan citizens belonging to the most vulnerable groups of the population, and
certainly ensure basic access for migrant women who could hardly afford visits and care in private clinics.
Currently CEFA is implementing the project "Health - Heightened and Enhanced Access of Libyans and migrants to
Health Services in the Municipality of Zawiya" and “Hand in Hand for a better health care in the South West” which aim
to increase access to health services for people in need and to improve services to ensure better health care for the Libyan
and migrant population. Within the framework of the initiatives, the department of public hospital and basic health centers
will be restructured and will be equipped with medical equipment and medicines. The medical and paramedical staff of
the departments of these health facilities will be trained in professionalizing paths and several awareness campaigns for
greater inclusiveness will be carried out to reach the sensitization of the most wage population

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
HI has been operational continuously in Libya since 2011, and up until the end of 2014 delivered a large-scale
Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) programme from bases in Tripoli, Misrata and Sirte. During that period, HI teams
protected countless civilians from the risk of death and injury due to explosive hazards through the clearance of over 302
km of land, including schools, agricultural land, beaches and residential areas; removing and destroying over 112,000
mines and ERW in the process. More than 1,000 people were trained to deliver mine/ERW/SALW risk education; whilst
HI teams reached more than 110,000 civilians with life-saving risk education messaging.
With the outbreak of renewed violence in 2014 and the delocalisation of international staff to Tunisia, HI redesigned it
programme in support of persons injured by mines, ERW and SALW, as well as persons with disabilities more widely. In
the last three years, HI has delivered health and protection services including physical therapy, provision of assistive
devices and mobility equipment and psychosocial support to over 4,000 persons directly impacted by the ongoing crisis,
as well as targeting health and rehabilitation centres in Western and eastern Libya with technical capacity development
and donations of much needed and otherwise depleted equipment. In 2017 HI relaunched risk education activities in the
Nafusa Mountain region, south of Tripoli for returning populations displaced since 2011.
In the same year HI initiated support to the
LibMAC for enhancing assistance to victims of
explosive hazards, through bringing together
national authorities and civil society to raise
awareness of the collective responsibility towards
persons directly affected by conflicts.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
Throughout 2020, the IFRC supported the LRCS in the implementation of community-based health (CBH) project. The
project aimed to contribute to improving the health and well-being of vulnerable populations in affected areas in Libya,
through:
• Assisting the LRCS in providing the community with services to identify and reduce health risks, and that is by
• Supporting the National Society in developing the capacity to assess and provide relevant long-term health care
support to vulnerable households.
• The conducting of a community assessment for the identification of key health issues of importance to the community
was conducted by LRCS branch volunteers, guided by secondary analyses and needs assessments conducted by
partners in the field. The community assessment led to the prioritization of the health issues in these areas and thus the
focus of the health promotion activities of the volunteers and their specific target populations. The health topics are:
Safe Motherhood, prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), Prevention of Infectious Diseases. It is to be
noted that with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the teams had to prioritize health and hygiene promotion
relevant to the prevention of transmission of the virus.
• The building of community health teams at branch level through a series of Training of Trainers and the roll-out of
these trainings to identified Community Health Volunteers (CHVs).
• The implementation of health promotion activities through household visits and seminars.
• The formation of committees of relevant stakeholders mobilised by the LRCS that can engage in the planning of the
health promotion activities.
• The establishment of referral mechanisms in some areas in an effort to link health promotion at community level with
the healthcare system and the available primary health care services, CHVs referred cases to the relevant health care
facilities cooperating with the LRCS at branch level. The deployment of medical convoys with a number of specialties
also took place for this purpose.
• Migrants in Detention Centres also received individual hygiene kits as part of this project.
In addition to the CBH project, the IFRC is supporting the LRCS in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic through:
• A series of online rapid trainings was provided to staff and volunteers from the community health teams and the
Psychosocial Support (PSS) teams on COVID-19, Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE),
Epidemic Control for Volunteers (ECV) and PSS with a focus on COVID-19.
• Supporting the LRCS in conducting an online and face-to-face rapid assessment to identify population at risk, barriers
to healthy behaviours and cultural and contextual factors that could support or deter an effective response.
• Supporting the LRCS in developing the COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Providing PPEs for the LRCS response.
• Supporting health promotion activities.
• Reinforcing peer to peer support capacities in selected branches.
• Supporting CBH trainings in selected branches.
• Distribution of relief items to migrants and vulnerable local community members.
• Setting up safe points for migrants.

In 2021, International Medical Corps (IMC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH), National Center for
Diseases Control (NCDC), and Primary Health Care Institute (PHCI) implemented six major projects in Libya, targeting
vulnerable populations as well as healthcare professionals. Two of them were completed in March 2021, while the
remaining four projects are ongoing. IMC deployed a total of 14 Mobile Medical Units (MMU). These MMUs that
provided primary health care services in eight (8) IDP camps, nine (9) migrant camps, twenty – five (25) polyclinics, and
three (3) hospitals in locations where local communitys, internally displaced and migrants in Tripoli, Janzour, Benghazi,
Misratah, Zliten, Brak Al-Shati, and Sabha are located. Services provided through these MMUs include general medical
consultations, reproductive health care, mental health and psychosocial support services with community health education
and provision of essential medications for common morbidities. In addition to direct service delivery, IMC have also
organized in collaboration with the relevant local health authorities including the NCDC and PHCI, training sessions for
the different cadres of health care workers assigned in 15 pirmary health care centers. The training topics were focused on
Child Health, Reproductive and Maternal Health Care, Infection Prevention and Control, Management of Non-
communicable diseases and communicable diseases including the National TB Protocol, MhGap and Psychological First
Aid Training. Further to the peovision of primary health care services and capacity building activities, IMC in
collaboration with the NCDC in Tripoli and Misrata have opened up a viable referral network for the screening, definitive
diagnosis and management follow up for patients affected with tuberculosis. This referral network includes community
health workers, the medical mobile units, the supported primary health care clinics and the nearest NCDC facility where
definitive diagnosis and registration for TB treatment is available.
International Medical Corps have also supported the delivery of medical commodities which includes equipment, medical

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
The budget planning system in Libya requires major policy and institutional reforms at the national level to meet basic
budgetary efficiency and transparency standards. The key to reforming this process is the introduction of a systematic,
integrated medium-term budget process at the sectoral level, which will articulate a vision for integrated expenditure
planning over a multi-year timeframe. The sector-level medium-term budget planning and implementation support will be
directly reinforced by pilot implementation activities at the municipal level. This will help translate and ground-truth
budgetary transparency and efficiency enhancement measures into street-level reality in the pilot municipalities.
Under the primary health care sector, LPFM’s objective is to implement a PHC operational plan, which principally works
towards ensuring that a cost-efficient basic package of preventative health care services is available for the citizens in the
catchment areas of selected health care clinics in the pilot municipalities. This, in turn, would be tied to longer-term
improvements in health indices that are being targeted over much lengthier timeframes. In the immediate future, LPFM
would also cover PHC budgeting analysis and projections for the government’s Covid-19 response by targeting the health
care clinics that are the focus of LPFM’s subnational pilot programs.
All of LPFM’s primary health care activities are implemented in close coordination with MoH, the regional health
directorates in the municipalities, and delegated staff in the respective municipalities who acquire the training to
implement LPFM’s operational plans. The Ministry of Local Government is also engaged given its crucial role in
decentralizing services to the subnational level.
• Assist the PHC pilot municipalities (as shown in the below table) with the implementation of the PHC operational
plan. In addition to identifying and costing the EPHS—the bundle of essential PHC services, the operational plan
also supports the priorities underscored in the PHC strategy developed by the USAID-funded Libya Economic
Stabilization Program in collaboration with MoH in 2019.
• Establish PHC task forces within the selected municipalities and assist them with launching the municipality’s PHC
pilot, including establishing health offices within the municipalities and defining the roles of the offices’ key staff.
The task forces and MoH staff of the regional health directorates in the respective municipalities are the major
beneficiaries of the training and piloting of the operational plans.
• Draft a public investment plan (PIP) for the selected municipalities to assess the infrastructure and equipment
required for the effective delivery of the EPHS, including any clinics’ upgrade & rehabilitation, and supplies of
equipment and machines.
• Revise the operational and investment plans to reflect any expenditures adjustments that are required to counter
Covid-19 at the PHC levels.
• Train the municipal PHC task force and health office staff of each PHC pilot municipality on the decentralized PHC
administrative and supervisory functions the municipality is to carry out to ensure the provision of an improved
package of PHC services within the municipality.
• Assist each PHC pilot municipality establish an effective PHC database that initially covers a select number of
clinics within that municipality.
• Assist PHC clinics establish a system that reports the status and consumption of medicines and supplies on a
monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.
• Develop funding guidelines for PHC services that meet the requirements of a demand-driven, cost-efficient, service
delivery framework.
In Year 2, the LPFM plans to work with the municipalities of Souq Juma, Zuwara, Algherifa, Tajoura, Yafran, Zliten, and
AlKhoms, Sabratha, Surman, Tobruk, Musaid, and Alasabaa. The PHC clinics are currently being selected.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) is a non-profit, non-political, international NGO. Its aim is to provide a
global response to the basic needs of populations affected by humanitarian crises.
Since 2017, Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) has been operating in Eastern Libya, particularly in the
regions of around Benghazi and Al Kufra, to strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable populations
affected by ongoing crisis, to improve their access to basic services and to reinforce the health system through
capacity building and support to the operational capacity of PHCCs. The organization’s activities in the
country are built upon an integrated approach combining the provision of comprehensive primary healthcare
services, psychosocial support interventions, WASH and rehab, as well as protection assistance in order to
promote health and well-being amongst the targeted populations. PUI intervention in Libya are currently
focused in Al Bayda and Al Marj areas in the North East as well as Al Kufra and Rubyana in the South East.
With a goal to improve access to comprehensive, quality health services for the most vulnerable populations in
Benghazi district and the neighboring districts of Ajdabiya and Al Marj. This project is focused on
strengthening the management of non-communicable disease in Al-Marj, including capacity of health staff and
referral pathways. It ensures the implementation of an innovative model for prevention and management of
non-communicable diseases in collaboration with health authorities. This model was previously implemented
with success in Benghazi within a consortium led by IRC and supported by the EU-Delegation. The project
oversees an emergency response in the 3 districts in order to provide comprehensive primary health package of
services.
PUI intervention in the area of Al-Kufra started early 2020. The medical outreach activities extended the
geographical coverage of intervention to Rubyana. The deployment of these teams helps to overcome the lack
of health workforce in the area. The intervention is carried out through PHCCs that host the health activities
delivered by PUI. A referral mechanism has also been put in place for medical emergencies.
Also, at community level, PUI coordinates a network of community health to implement awareness activities,
medical screening and referral services. Through these activities, PUI delivers messages to highlight the
importance of mental health to support the beneficiaries for efficient stress management especially during the
COVID-19 crisis.
Furthermore, PUI has reinforced the prevention on health and hygiene related topics within the communities
during the COVID-19 outbreak and supported local authorities in fighting the pandemic by providing trainings
to health professionals. PUI’s capacity building component helped strengthen the health personnel’s ability to
respond to the COVID-19 outbreak in the country and deliver quality vaccination services. As the pandemic
affected the procurement of some supplies especially personal protective equipment and other material for
improving the infection prevention and control component as part of the COVID-19 response.
Finally, a PUI support team in intervening in close collaboration with the health authorities in order to support
the vaccination campaign, especially in terms of cold chain, waste management and technical capacities in
order to increase the demand of the vaccine especially for the target groups and contribute to the quality of
vaccination services delivered in the area.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
The World Bank’s (WB) engagement with Libya started in August 2017, and primarily focused on capacity building. In
2019, the World Bank took concrete steps to address systemic issues in the Libyan health care system, including the
development of the country’s first nationally representative patient and health provider survey, which was completed in
June 2019 and results shared with the government. During 2020, the Bank received a request from Libya to incorporate a
COVID-19 response component focusing on integrating digital solutions and telemedicine for case management
Deliberations in September 2020 between the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the World Bank health team have led to the
identification of four technical workstreams of high priority to the MoH. A description of each workstream is provided
below:
WB proposed support centers around the production of knowledge and evidence generation related to Libya’s education
and health labor market and the use of such evidence to inform the policy dialogue on short, medium and long- term
strategies and interventions. All support will be provided by working closely with the government, national stakeholders,
and international partners, considering the contextual challenges in Libya, and complementing and building on existing
and ongoing efforts on HRH.
• TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO THE PRIMARY HEALTH CARE INSTITUTE
In 2018, the Presidency Council of the Government of National Accord issued decree number 410 to establish a Primary
Healthcare Institute (PHCI) to be the sole decision-making entity regarding primary health care design and
implementation, and to collaborate with national and international partners to support implementation and advocacy.
Overall World Bank technical support will be to assist the PHCI with its institutional, organizational and governance
setup, capacity development, and scope of work.
With a reorganization in 2018, the Treatment Affairs Directorate has undertaken the functions of a health economics unit
(HEU), additional work has to be done to define these arrangements and capacitate the functions of the HEU. To this
extent, the World Bank will provide technical assistance on establishing the unit, including its organizational and
governance structure as well as building capacity. With WB’s support, the unit will undertake key analytical studies on
health financing and economics, including the costing and definition of the health benefits package.
• COVID-19 RESPONSE
Information, communication and technology (ICT) have risen to complement or replace traditional service delivery that
can pose risk of infections to non-COVID-19 patients. The World Bank technical support will assist the MoH in
improving the stewardship and delivery of telemedicine services in Libya, while addressing the technical, financial, and
legal aspects related to eHealth.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
UNDP is currently implementing a number of multiyear/multiphase projects in Libya aimed at supporting local authorities
in enhancing provision of basic services at local level and increasing access for most vulnerable groups from host
communities, including IDP, returnees, migrants and refugees. Key progress in the health sector are outlined below:
COVID-19 response
UNDP Libya is supporting civil works and equipment procurement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic through three
projects; the Stabilization Facility for Libya (SFL); Stabilization to Recovery Transition (START); and the Strengthening
Local Capacities for Resilience and Recovery Project (SLCRR) projects. The UN Development Programme (UNDP) is
responding to a growing volume of requests from the Government of Libya and its Municipalities to help them prepare
for, respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing particularly on the most vulnerable population
groups.
UNDP’s Three by Three integrated approach globally is concentrated around three immediate priorities:
Under the Rapid Response Facility (RRF) UNDP Libya aims to provide 1,500 Cepheid Tests/ Cartridges to the Ministry
of Health to support their efforts to identify, track and contain the spread of the virus. In parallel, UNDP Libya is assisting
young entrepreneurs to find innovative solutions to the emerging COVID-19 crisis. Through the Accelerator Lab, support
is being provided to the Libyan National Robotics Team (Libotics) to procure 3D printers and raw materials needed in the
production of PPE equipment, which will be given to the Ministry of Health who will in turn distribute to hospitals and
healthcare centres that are treating COVID-19 patients throughout Libya. In addition, UNDP Libya is supporting an
innovative start-up company made up of US/ Canadian trained Libyan doctors who are working with the Ministry of
Health to expand a Telemedicine App so that vulnerable communities can gain access to COVID-19 related healthcare,
assistance and support.
On the governance track, UNDP Libya is helping to boost COVID-19 related coordination efforts within the Ministry of
Health and between the Ministry and International Organisations engaged in the response to the pandemic. Three UNDP
consultants have been deployed to the Ministry of Health and are: (i) working closely with the Ministry’s International
Cooperation Office; (ii) coordinating the supply, distributing and use of COVID-19 related medical supplies to areas most
in need such as the South; (iii) facilitating Health Sector Coordination meetings; (iv) facilitating coordination and
cooperation between different government entities and international organisations in the provision of COVID-19 related
medical support; and (v) engaging in Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RRCE) activities to raise
awareness and dispel misinformation about COVID-19. The consultants are also helping to develop the National
Response Plan (NRP) for COVID-19 and are acting as a crucial link between the government and the UN Socio-
Economic Framework (UNSEF) Taskforce that is coordinating a UN wide response to COVID-19.
The socio-economic impact of COVID-19 has been assessed by the (UNDP) UNSEF Lead Economist who developed a
strategic framework for a unified UN response over the coming 12 to 18 months. Under the third priority of UNDP
Libya’s COVID-19 response, the UNSEF Lead Economist has worked with the UNDP led UNSEF Taskforce to map all
completed, on-going and planned assessments under the following five UNSEF Pillars:
The final strategic framework for the UN’s socio-economic response to the impact of COVID-19 includes input from all
agencies.
Activities under RRF are to be seen as catalytic and foundational, which will be built upon by activities conducted under
the Japan Supplementary Budget (JSB) funded: ‘Supporting an Inclusive and Multi-Sectoral Response to COVID-19 and
Addressing its Socio-Economic Impact in Libya’ project (JSB COVID-19).
Under JSB COVID-19, UNDP Libya is supporting municipalities in the west, east and south of Libya by enhancing the
health waste management systems in hospital/ healthcare centres engaged in the treatment of COVID-19 patients (in each
particular region). In addition, UNDP Libya is taking steps to bolster the power supply in hospitals/ healthcare centres
treating COVID-19 patients by providing solar energy systems in order to augment their unsteady supply of electricity.
In response to aforementioned priority to strengthen health care systems, the SFL, SLCRR and START projects engaged
in extensive consultations at local level to ensure support to a number of municipalities. There is a total of seventeen
projects on-going in response to the pandemic with projected budget requirement of $5,301,247. Of these, 13 are
implemented through the Stabilization Facility, two through START project and two through the SLCRR. Of these, there
are eleven (12) equipment procurement transactions and five (5) civil work projects.
Of the civil works projects, four projects will rehabilitate existing hospitals for isolation wards although in one location
work is still needed to ensure the conflict sensitivity of the intervention. Three isolations wards are planned with a project
in each of the municipalities of Benghazi, Bani Walid, and Derna and will include procurement of beds (20 in each
isolation facility) and other material and supplies so that the isolation facilities are immediately operational. Work is
expected to start in October to establish a medical oxygen facility in Sebha, which will include installation of some
equipment.
Equipment procurement includes procurement and delivery of testing kits and materials, provision of materials and
supplies to promote local PPE production through support to local NGO and through private sector as well as ventilators
(36 in total) and fifteen ICU ambulances to be distributed to seven different municipalities.
The SLCRR project has supported the rehabilitation of Al-Birkat Health Center in Ghat and Thala allowing for enhanced
access to health services for about 25,000 people, including children, women, immigrants, and IDPs. Today, the renovated
centre serves as the main facility for conducting COVID-19 tests and receiving potential cases in the Al-Birkat district.
The project has also supported the municipalities with the delivery of critical medical equipment, such as 7 ambulances
for Kufra, Murzuq, Hay Al Andalus and Ajdabiya, delivery of one generator to the main hospital in Murzuq; reparation of
CT scan machine at Adjabiya Almgarife Central Hospital; as well as through ongoing provision of medical equipment to
Sabratha hospital. Additionally, the project plans to purchase two 4WD ambulances to Kufra and a total of 8 intensive
care unit ambulances to the following municipalities; Ghat, Mamoura, Benghazi and Derej to enhance their capacity to
respond to COVID-19.
Moreover, in partnership with Peaceful Change Initiative (PCi), several initiatives have been implemented such as
disinfection of healthcare facilities in Abu Salim, provision of protection and sterilization materials to Tripoli Centre for
the Municipality staff and visitors, provision of protective equipment to medical personnel at Sebratha hospital and to Al-
Hira medical centre in Esbaia, as well as provision of thermometers for temperature screening at the entrance of public
buildings in Sebha municipality. Awareness raising campaigns on COVID19 have been carried out in Brak Ashati and in
Benghazi.
The START project supports a total of eight national NGOs in Libya to produce PPE, including face masks, gowns and
face shields in Tripoli, Benghazi, Sebha, Ghadamos, Derj and Zliten.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE:
UNFPA supports the Libyan health system to prevent excessive morbidities and mortalities amongst mothers, newborns
and all women of reproductive age. This includes supporting the provision of high-quality sexual and reproductive health
services through mobile teams of specialized health workers, medicines and equipment and by building the capacity of
health care providers, including midwives and nurses.
Since the beginning of 2020, and following COVID-19 pandemic and the political and security fragile situation. UNFPA
has strived to build the resilience of healthcare institutions, health facilities and local authorities to maintain the provision
of essential health services with a focus on maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) services to the
vulnerable groups of population including migrants, refugees, internally displaced people, especially women, youth and
newborns, to prevent maternal and newborn deaths in Libya due to the absence of skilled health providers.
UNFPA has been assisting the Ministry of Health to maintain essential reproductive services through the deployment of
specialized mobile medical units to primary healthcare centers (PHCs) mostly in need, as well as the provision of training
for midwives and nurses working in the PHCs to increase the resilience of healthcare institutions in the face of conflict
and the COVID-19 pandemic in Libya. The mobile medical units are composed of qualified medical staff, including
gynecologists and midwives. Since their deployment in 2020, they have reached over 25,800 women of reproductive age,
including migrants and IDPs, through provision of regular essential reproductive, maternal ad newborn health services.
Through its community-based healthcare (CBHC) interventions, with the help of community health workers (CHWs),
UNFPA has disseminated healthcare awareness messages and behavior change communication, including COVID-19 risk
communication, at community level, within both migrant and host communities. selected from the migrant and refugee
communities, reaching over 8,756 individuals.
UNFPA has also built the capacity of healthcare providers to provide integrated SRH-GBV services amidst the outbreak
of the COVID-19 pandemic in Libya. The trained service providers can perform essential integrated SRH services for
women, girls, adolescents and GBV survivors and understand the referral pathways for SRH, GBV and cases with signs
