Mission and objectives

We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results. In Libya, 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.

Many of our initiatives have moved from nationally-implemented projects to direct implementation on the ground.

UNDP aims to support Libya’s transition to an inclusive political agreement through urgent rehabilitation of critical public services, expansion of dialogue between different stakeholders, support to constitutional processes underway and strengthened national and local capacities to be able to address the urgent needs of citizens.

Context
UNDP provides support to the decentralization process in Libya through various projects and activities. In order to enhance the visibility and impact of our work, we are looking for dedicated online volunteers to help us through providing graphic design support to our documentation, reports, and communications materials.

Note: Online Volunteers share their time and expertise on a voluntary basis and do not receive any financial compensation. Contributing to sustainable human development, developing knowledge and skills and working in a multicultural environment are some of the many benefits of online volunteering. Upon successful completion of the assignment, the Online Volunteer will receive an electronic certificate of appreciation.
