Introduction
The southern region of Libya has historically been the least economically developed area, with many cities lacking basic services. This underdevelopment has been exacerbated by prolonged periods of conflict since 2011. The agricultural sector holds potential for the region's development.
Challenges such as inadequate water and market infrastructure, limited access to quality agricultural inputs and tools, low engagement of farmers in value-added activities, price fluctuations, lack of loans and credit, and inadequate extension services hinder agricultural production.
Goals and Beneficiaries
Additionally, Moomken has offices in three of the targeted areas: Tripoli (Moomken's headquarters), Sabha, and Benghazi. These offices will facilitate outreach efforts to local civil society organizations and serve as bases for providing additional support if required. Preference will be given to CSOs with prior experience in engaging and implementing programs for vulnerable populations.
The project aims to address the needs of various vulnerable populations, including women, youth, migrant communities, internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and ethnic/linguistic minorities. While the implementing CSOs will directly engage with these populations, Moomken will provide guidance based on its own experience working with these groups in diverse projects, including livelihood assistance initiatives.
Project Design
This activity involves conducting a comprehensive evaluation of each Civil Society Organization (CSO). The assessment identifies the organization's capacities, skills needs, and understanding of local livelihoods and economic sectors. The results of this assessment will inform the level of support and monitoring each CSO requires.
These are events designed to assist CSOs in developing their full proposal packages. CSOs are given the opportunity to receive in-person guidance, which can help them create more effective and targeted proposals for their projects.
In this activity, CSOs are selected to participate in the program based on their proposal submissions and a set of selection criteria. The selected CSOs are then notified and contracts are signed, formalizing their participation in the program.
During the training period, the Procurement Manager acquires assets identified in the assessment and proposals. These assets are then distributed to the CSOs as livelihood support grants, providing them with the resources they need to implement their projects.
This activity involves continuous support and monitoring of the CSOs throughout the project implementation period. Local staff provide this support, ensuring that the CSOs are effectively implementing their projects and addressing any issues that may arise.
At the end of the project, a Collective Impact Assessment is conducted. This assessment evaluates the impact of the project on local livelihoods in each community, providing valuable insights into the project's effectiveness and areas for future improvement.
