LIBLN042- Logistics Officer

We are

The European Union Integrated Border Management Assistance Mission in Libya (EUBAM Libya), is part of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), which enables the Union to take a leading role in peace-keeping operations, conflict prevention and in strengthening of international security. It is an integrated part of the EU’s comprehensive approach towards crisis management, drawing on civilian experts as well as experts from the police and other areas.

EUBAM Libya was established on 22 May 2013 by the Council of the European Union in response to a request from the Libyan Government to the EU to support the Libyan authorities in improving and developing the security of the country’s land, sea and air borders. As a civilian crisis management mission with a capacity-building mandate, EUBAM Libya assists the Libyan authorities at strategic and operational level. Its mandate is carried out through supporting relevant Libyan counterparts in border management and fight against border crime and terrorism.

EUBAM Libya Headquarters is currently located in Tripoli, having a sub-office in Tunis, and is progressively increasing its presence in the host country. In this perspective, EUBAM Libya is looking for Local National Staff to support its operations in Tripoli.

The EU strives for improved gender balance in CSDP operations in compliance with UNSCR 1325.
