A COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVE – LIBYA

About : Action contre la Faim

Humanitarian needs are mostly among the migrants and refugees as well as population affected by the storm Daniel, i.e. Derna City and its surrounding (rural villages in the Green Mountains area, considered as a food basket for the Country). Lack of access to basic services for most of the population is mainly related to the political instability undermining the Country. Situation is aggravated in southern and eastern Libya that were already marginalized during Muammar Gaddafi’s forty-two years in power. Libya is as well prone to climate change impact either in north-eastern (heavy rainfall) and southern Libya (increased and more severe sand and dust storms, droughts and increased temperatures).
ACF implements two programs in support to access to healthcare and agriculture in the South (Sebha). These programs will end in 2024 and 2025. The activities are remotely managed from Tunis, with regular access to Libya (Tripoli and Bengazi). In a context where donors are scaling down, ACF is one of the few remaining INGO with access to Libya. The objective of the role will be to identify a scaling down strategy for 2025.
