In close cooperation with the Ministry of Health, GIZ provides technical assistance to strengthen local health centres and to diversify, improve and deliver basic health services for the population. Economic and social integration of young people remains a major challenge in Libya, which is why GIZ has partnered with the Ministry of Youth in an effort to upgrade youth centres and to train youth multipliers to contribute to youth work and social cohesion in their communities.
