Summary
As in 2019, WFP’s programmes in Libya maintained a strong relief component in 2020. Under Strategic Outcome 1, WFP provided Unconditional Resource Transfers (URT) through in-kind and commodity voucher assistance. A successful e-voucher pilot helped stimulate local markets and restore dignity to around 10,000 beneficiaries in urban areas, although a larger-scale rollout was postponed until 2021, leading to more in-kind assistance distributed than planned. Laying the groundwork for a national school feeding programme and in line with wider social protection efforts, WFP worked in tandem with the Ministry of Education to provide over 18,000 schoolchildren with complementary food-assistance. While this activity was impacted by school closures due to COVID-19, schoolchildren were reached with alternative take-home rations to support distance learning and mitigate the risk of dropout. WFP also strengthened action for migrants, refugees, asylum-seekers and crisis-affected groups through inter-agency partnerships with IOM, UNFPA, UNHCR and UNICEF, and launched new projects supporting gender equality and women's empowerment. Under Strategic Outcome 2, WFP’s expanded food-assistance-for-training activities aimed to increase household resilience and reduce reliance on coping strategies to meet food needs. The opportunity to work and earn a living is one of the most effective ways for people to become self-reliant, and participants developed vocational skills aligned to the needs of local job markets, helping to ameliorate the long-term effects of Libya’s protracted crisis on livelihoods and local economies.
