Background

The Libya Transition Initiative (LTI) 2 project aims to support Libyan efforts to build an inclusive and peaceful democratic future. Through Chemonics International Inc., USAID/OTI partners with civil society organizations, and interim governing authorities to strengthen civic activism by building capacity and connecting networks, while bolstering security by supporting moderate voices and strengthening local initiatives to mitigate conflict.

LTI 2 focuses on three priority areas of programming listed below:

• Community engagement activities;
• Supporting moderate voices; and
• Supporting political processes and national dialogue

In each of these areas, LTI 2 works to increase access to information, promote dialogue, and provide platforms for civil society to effectively engage with the Libyan government.
