Situated in Northern Africa, Libya stands at a historic crossroads between regions. Sitting on the largest proven oil reserves in Africa, Libya was a middle-income country before the Arab uprising and subsequent overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, which plunged the nation into years of civil war, struggle and uncertainty.
What We've Done
Between January 29 – February 6, 2018 (19 days), IMPL. PROJECT and partner Complexas, deployed a combined 7-member expat team to Benghazi, Libya. IMPL. PROJECT hired and trained more than 40 local staff in three (3) days.
A total of 4,335 community perception surveys and more than 40 qualitative engagements (comprising Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), and Site Assessments), were completed.
All engagements and surveys were conducted in-person, are anonymized, and geo-tagged.
The vast scale of the data provided insight with a 99% confidence level and a 2%
margin of error that the data captured is representative of the entire Benghazi community, of which the LCC employee population is a subset.
Programming Recommendations
Cross-sectoral, anti-corruption work
Trust between all levels of government and citizens has deteriorated to the point that 49% of the Benghazi population report no credible institution upon which they trust for progress and recovery.
Community cohesion projects
Substantial livelihoods and liquidity challenges are further undermined by structural and systemic barriers to economic growth and social cohesion.
