Nationwide, Libya
A nationwide project, delivered locally
Local organisations lead the design and delivery of the work. SHARP-ER partners with Libyan civil society, municipalities, and community leaders — through funded sub-projects, training, and open dialogue between communities and the institutions that serve them.
Three areas of change
Strengthening Rule of Law
Supporting local institutions to improve access to justice and transparency
Empowering Civil Society
Building the capacity of CSOs to strengthen their role in oversight and accountability
Supporting Local Governance
Enhancing collaboration between municipalities and local actors to improve service delivery
