The German Government owned Organisation for International Cooperation (GIZ) started the implementation of the project “Employment Promotion and Economic Development in Libya”, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ), in June 2018.

The project’s political partner is the Libyan Ministry of Labour and Capacity Building (MoL). It aims to improve the opportunities for income-generating employment for youths, women and vulnerable groups. The project works in three key areas: (1) Design and implementation of capacity building measures (innovative models for employment-generating qualification) (2) Improvement of the service offer for start ups and micro and small enterprises (3) Transition from training/education to work.

The project has to achieve its objectives with a number of indicators reflecting quantitative (number of persons brought into jobs, number of persons reached/trained) and qualitative (better working conditions) achievements in terms of employment. The project’s beneficiaries are young male and female job seekers. Disadvantaged people, such as internally displaced persons (IDPs) or casualties of war, are also included. The project is also aimed at start-ups and owners of micro and small enterprises as well as the employees of these companies.

The project’s capacity development strategy addresses the following levels: (a) At the level of individuals, entrepreneurs are equipped with skills to expand and professionalise their economic activities. Start-ups are strengthened in their technical and business skills. The skills of teachers and trainers from training institutions are updated. (b) At the level of organisations, governmental and non-governmental implementing partners are strengthened at local and national level in their capacity to be proactive and in their role as advisors and multipliers. (c) At policy level partners are encouraged to identify ways for an improve start-up and business climate.

Apart from the MoL, the project cooperates with the National Board for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), selected educational and training institutions, selected municipalities, business service providers as well as NGOs.

Due to the current conflict situation, the project is managed remotely.
