Libya 2020

An upper-middle income country, Libya has been affected by instability and conflict since 2011, with growing levels of insecurity, political fragmentation, and a significant deterioration of public services, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities of Libyans, migrants and refugees. UNFPA’s response to Libya’s protracted crisis is built around strengthening cooperation and complementarity among development, humanitarian action and sustaining peace, and entails a progressive shift from a focus on service delivery to institutional capacity-building programmes, sustaining access to sexual and reproductive health services and adopting a community-based approach that engages youth and women as part of medium and longer-term development for peacebuilding and gender equality.
