SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Overall goal
Most vulnerable people affected by conflict and/or other situations of violence in Libya are able to meet their basic needs, notably regarding food/nutrition, access to water and sanitation facilities, and access to quality health-care services.
Expected results
The ICRC aims to achieve the following results per Assistance Sub-Programme for 2019:
1) Economic security: Dietary and other basic needs gaps as well as livelihood situation for 355,800 vulnerable people including IDPs, residents and returnees as well as vulnerable widows and disabled people are reduced.
2) Water and habitat: Protection against major environmental health hazards related to water, housing, hygiene and sanitation for 500,000 vulnerable people has improved
3) Quality hospital care provided for 800 wounded and sick or people with physical disabilities.
With a contribution of EUR 2 Mio, the ICRC will be able to reach the following results for the benefit of a total of almost 44.100 people:
- 8,895 individuals affected by Non-International Armed Conflict (NIAC) and Other Situations of
violence (OSV) in Libya were able to cover their essential needs and unavoidable expenditures.
- 35,112 people among the most vulnerable civilian populations in Libya, in particular the
displaced, returnees and migrants, were protected against the major environmental health
hazards related to water, housing, hygiene and sanitation.
- Up to 87 individuals among the wounded and sick and/or people with physical disabilities in
ICRC-assisted Hospitals or Physical Rehabilitation Centers benefitted from quality hospital care
in a facility with functional infrastructure and skilled staff providing operational maintenance.
Target group / Beneficiaries
Target groups of the ICRC appeal under the Assistance section are:
- Civilians (People, who do not take part in fighting, including IDPs, returnees and vulnerable
residents) and people who are wounded, sick or physically disabled.
- Detainees (people, including migrants, who are deprived of their freedom)
- Actors of influence (e.g. parties to the conflict, religious leaders)
- The Libyan Red Crescent Society (LRCS).
The ICRC works closely with the Libyan Red Crescent Society (LRCS) and is present in Tripoli, Misrata, Benghazi and Sabha.
