UNICEF together with senior officials from the Libyan Ministry of Local Government and the EU Delegation held a workshop in Tunis on the commitment and partnership for young people in Libya. Within the framework of the EU-funded programme ’Towards Resilience and Social Inclusion of Adolescents and Young People’, UNICEF will aim to address priorities of education, child protection and other priorities of youth in Libya.

The two-day workshop was held with the aim to agree on a shared vision and to establish a solid partnership between the Ministry of Local Government and UNICEF to work together within the EU-funded programme.

“Youth is a fundamental element in sustaining the current transitional process and in guaranteeing the democratic and prosperous future of Libya” said Stefano Sotgia, Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Libya. 

During the workshop, the parties agreed on an implementation strategy which involves youth, municipalities, the civil and the private sectors.
