Antecedentes

UNDP “Strengthening Local Capacities for Resilience and Recovery” project is part of the European Union (EU) programme “Recovery, Stability and Socio-Economic Development in Libya” (Baladiyati), funded under the  EU Emergency Trust Fund for stability and addressing root causes of irregular migration and displaced persons in Africa. The project aims at enhancing provision of basic services at local level and increasing access for most vulnerable groups from host communities - including Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs) and returnees - as well as migrants and refugees.

UNDP “Strengthening Local Capacities for Resilience and Recovery” (SLCRR - top up) project, funded by the European Union, aims at supporting local authorities in Libya to respond to the many conflict and human mobility induced challenges that impact negatively people access to essential services, the social cohesion and community security, and jobs and the sustainable livelihoods. The project is built around 3 specific objectives: (i) Strengthening responsiveness of local institutions in delivering essential public services to crisis-affected populations and in leading recovery processes; (ii) Enhancing communities and local stakeholders’ capacity to improve social cohesion and community security; (iii) Strengthening economic opportunities for youth and vulnerable groups (including women) through inclusive and participatory local economic recovery.

A well-established MEAL system is key to effectively inform these projects as well as ensure transparency amd accountability.
