PROJECT ELNLD : « ENABLING LIBYAN NGOs TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE NEW LIBYAN DEMOCRACY »

BACKGROUND

WWF is conscious that the long-term success of the conservation activities it supports can only be reached through the active participation of local individuals, groups and organisations. Hence, WWF has decided to concentrate much of its effort in North Africa on helping build the capacity of grassroots and local environmental groups of the south of the Mediterranean as a contribution to the democratization processes initiated by the Arab spring results.

WWF participated in the first Libyan Civil Society Forum and had the chance to meet a group of eight Libyan environmental NGOs that confirmed their interest and willingness to work with WWF on building their capacity. Indeed, facing a challenging way to perform sustainable development in Libya, the newly emerging civil society organizations (CSOs) are called to be real change actors. CSO situation in Libya is promising with evolving several organizations, though yet needy for appropriate enabling environment allowing a participatory decision-making processes.

The presence of professional and qualified NGOs that can reference themselves legitimately to local societies, that can represent and promote common interests such as the quality of the environment, that are able to bring a constructive input to political and governmental processes, is a crucial condition for the long term achievement of environmental conservation results and widespread environmental awareness.

In this context, WWF, office of Tunisia, along with its partner and with support of EU, is currently implementing a Capacity Building Programme in support of the project « Enabling Libyan NGOs to shape the future of the New Libyan Democracy ». The project’s overall objective is to promote and strengthen a broad-based and inclusive civil society in Libya, mainly environmental NGOs that are capable to represent common interests and to engage with communities and public authorities at different decision making levels.

The specific objectives of the project are:

• Upgrade the capacity, establish good governance and support direct actions of Libyan NGOs working in the field of environment and sustainable development.
• Develop a vibrant Libyan network of NGOs working in the field of environment that can represent the common interests of their communities and play an active and effective role in monitoring and influencing policies and development processes.
• Establish contacts and promote dialogue between the Libyan State actors and the NGOs working in the field of environment and sustainable development.
• Establish regional collaboration between Libyan, Tunisian and Moroccan NGOs working in the field of environment and sustainable development.

The project main results are expected to be:
