Our story

Why We Started in Libya

UNDP supports Libya's transition towards peace, economic recovery, and sustainable development to help the country get on a more robust development path by supporting local authorities to restore essential services delivery and livelihood opportunities and promote peaceful co-existence.

Job creation for youth is at the heart of UNDP’s local Peacebuilding efforts. 

The Initiative's Background

This initiative is part of UNDP's “Environment towards youth entrepreneurship support and positive migration governance project (EEYES)” programme financed by the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the Strengthening Local Capacity for Resilience and Recovery Project funded by the North of Africa Window of the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Stability which contributes in addressing the root causes of irregular migration and displaced persons in Africa (EUTF – NOA). The Deraya Initiative is implemented in partnership with Flat6Labs, Tatweer Research and Mazam.
