OPERATIONAL RESPONSE: Cefa is operating in Libya since 2017, mainly in the cities of Sebha, Tripoli and Zawiya. Within the framework of 2 projects financed by the Italian Cooperation, CEFA has been previously operating in 2 DCs under the DCIM, seeking to assist the detained population through the distribution of essential NFIs and food complements to specific vulnerable groups (mainly breastfeeding women and children). Thanks to the activities carried out by CEFA, the detained population accessed at least basic services (WASH and Health), essential goods (NFIs, food and hygiene kits) and to access the identification and monitoring system (through referrals) implemented by the UN agencies in charge of the management of refugee and migrant communities in Libya. Thank to frequent visits to the detention centers, it was possible to identify the needs of migrants also from a psychological point of view. So, moments and spaces have been negotiated with the authorities to carry out recreational activities for mothers and children. Also, complements of food distribution have been ensured for extremely vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children. WASH interventions have been implemented in the center of Tarek El Sikka through the support of partner Weworld-GVC (disinfestation, maintenance of toilets and showers - without making structural interventions). Daily hygiene kits were distributed and regularly monitored the quantity and quality of water available to migrants within the center. Medical materials (medicines but also medical equipment) were also provided to clinics in the centers so that access to minimum care could be guaranteed.
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, CEFA was able to shape its activities to better adapt to the needs of the migrant population. During the months of April, May and June 2020, distributions of personal protective equipment and hygiene kits were carried out both inside the center of Tarek El Sikka, both outside the structure, in the suburbs of Tripoli. During the distributions, information material was distributed, and an attempt was made to assist the migrant population to adopt measures to contain the virus. The improvement of the living conditions of women and children has been and is one of the main objectives of CEFA in the country and maternal and child health remains one of the main sector of intervention.
The context of national instability created by the 2011 revolution and then the emergency resulting from the intensification of the internal conflict that began in 2014, have led to the deterioration of the living standards of the most vulnerable groups, including women and children, especially migrants. In the context of the traditionally conservative communities in the country, women’s health already had historical cultural and technical shortcomings. Recent political dynamics in the country have exacerbated inequalities and further restricted adequate access to basic health services.
Since 2017, CEFA has renovated and equipped 4 health facilities in Sebha and two health facilities in Tripoli, the Tripoli Medical Center and the Jala'a Hospital specialized in maternal-child health. Intervention in public health facilities means ensuring better access to services for Libyan citizens belonging to the most vulnerable groups of the population, and certainly ensure basic access for migrant women who could hardly afford visits and care in private clinics.
Currently CEFA is implementing the project "Health - Heightened and Enhanced Access of Libyans and migrants to Health Services in the Municipality of Zawiya" and “Hand in Hand for a better health care in the South West” which aim to increase access to health services for people in need and to improve services to ensure better health care for the Libyan and migrant population. Within the framework of the initiatives, the department of public hospital and basic health centers will be restructured and will be equipped with medical equipment and medicines. The medical and paramedical staff of the departments of these health facilities will be trained in professionalizing paths and several awareness campaigns for greater inclusiveness will be carried out to reach the sensitization of the most wage population .

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE: HI has been operational continuously in Libya since 2011, and up until the end of 2014 delivered a large-scale Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) programme from bases in Tripoli, Misrata and Sirte. During that period, HI teams protected countless civilians from the risk of death and injury due to explosive hazards through the clearance of over 302 km of land, including schools, agricultural land, beaches and residential areas; removing and destroying over 112,000 mines and ERW in the process. More than 1,000 people were trained to deliver mine/ERW/SALW risk education; whilst HI teams reached more than 110,000 civilians with life-saving risk education messaging.
With the outbreak of renewed violence in 2014 and the delocalisation of international staff to Tunisia, HI redesigned it programme in support of persons injured by mines, ERW and SALW, as well as persons with disabilities more widely. In the last three years, HI has delivered health and protection services including physical therapy, provision of assistive devices and mobility equipment and psychosocial support to over 4,000 persons directly impacted by the ongoing crisis, as well as targeting health and rehabilitation centres in Western and eastern Libya with technical capacity development and donations of much needed and otherwise depleted equipment. In 2017 HI relaunched risk education activities in the Nafusa Mountain region, south of Tripoli for returning populations displaced since 2011.
In the same year HI initiated support to the LibMAC for enhancing assistance to victims of explosive hazards, through bringing together national authorities and civil society to raise awareness of the collective responsibility towards persons directly affected by conflicts. At the end of 2018 HI opened a new office in eastern Libya, in Benghazi where it developed also Health and protection activities in synergy with the West part of Libya.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE: Throughout 2020, the IFRC supported the LRCS in the implementation of community-based health (CBH) project. The project aimed to contribute to improving the health and well-being of vulnerable populations in affected areas in Libya, through:
• Assisting the LRCS in providing the community with services to identify and reduce health risks, and that is by
• Supporting the National Society in developing the capacity to assess and provide relevant long-term health care support to vulnerable households. The support included:
• The conducting of a community assessment for the identification of key health issues of importance to the community was conducted by LRCS branch volunteers, guided by secondary analyses and needs assessments conducted by partners in the field. The community assessment led to the prioritization of the health issues in these areas and thus the focus of the health promotion activities of the volunteers and their specific target populations. The health topics are: Safe Motherhood, prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), Prevention of Infectious Diseases. It is to be noted that with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the teams had to prioritize health and hygiene promotion relevant to the prevention of transmission of the virus. • The building of community health teams at branch level through a series of Training of Trainers and the roll-out of these trainings to identified Community Health Volunteers (CHVs). • The implementation of health promotion activities through household visits and seminars. • The formation of committees of relevant stakeholders mobilised by the LRCS that can engage in the planning of the health promotion activities. • The establishment of referral mechanisms in some areas in an effort to link health promotion at community level with the healthcare system and the available primary health care services, CHVs referred cases to the relevant health care
facilities cooperating with the LRCS at branch level. The deployment of medical convoys with a number of specialties also took place for this purpose. • Migrants in Detention Centres also received individual hygiene kits as part of this project. In addition to the CBH project, the IFRC is supporting the LRCS in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic through:
• A series of online rapid trainings was provided to staff and volunteers from the community health teams and the Psychosocial Support (PSS) teams on COVID-19, Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE), Epidemic Control for Volunteers (ECV) and PSS with a focus on COVID-19. • Supporting the LRCS in conducting an online and face-to-face rapid assessment to identify population at risk, barriers to healthy behaviours and cultural and contextual factors that could support or deter an effective response. • Supporting the LRCS in developing the COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). • Providing PPEs for the LRCS response. • Supporting health promotion activities. • Reinforcing peer to peer support capacities in selected branches. • Supporting CBH trainings in selected branches. • Distribution of relief items to migrants and vulnerable local community members. • Setting up safe points for migrants.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE: The budget planning system in Libya requires major policy and institutional reforms at the national level to meet basic budgetary efficiency and transparency standards. The key to reforming this process is the introduction of a systematic, integrated medium-term budget process at the sectoral level, which will articulate a vision for integrated expenditure planning over a multi-year timeframe. The sector-level medium-term budget planning and implementation support will be directly reinforced by pilot implementation activities at the municipal level. This will help translate and ground-truth budgetary transparency and efficiency enhancement measures into street-level reality in the pilot municipalities.
Under the primary health care sector, LPFM’s objective is to implement a PHC operational plan, which principally works towards ensuring that a cost-efficient basic package of preventative health care services is available for the citizens in the catchment areas of selected health care clinics in the pilot municipalities. This, in turn, would be tied to longer-term improvements in health indices that are being targeted over much lengthier timeframes. In the immediate future, LPFM would also cover PHC budgeting analysis and projections for the government’s Covid-19 response by targeting the health care clinics that are the focus of LPFM’s subnational pilot programs.
All of LPFM’s primary health care activities are implemented in close coordination with MoH, the regional health directorates in the municipalities, and delegated staff in the respective municipalities who acquire the training to implement LPFM’s operational plans. The Ministry of Local Government is also engaged given its crucial role in decentralizing services to the subnational level.
LPFM focuses on the following areas:
• Assist the PHC pilot municipalities (as shown in the below table) with the implementation of the PHC operational plan. In addition to identifying and costing the EPHS—the bundle of essential PHC services, the operational plan also supports the priorities underscored in the PHC strategy developed by the USAID-funded Libya Economic Stabilization Program in collaboration with MoH in 2019. • Establish PHC task forces within the selected municipalities and assist them with launching the municipality’s PHC pilot, including establishing health offices within the municipalities and defining the roles of the offices’ key staff. The task forces and MoH staff of the regional health directorates in the respective municipalities are the major beneficiaries of the training and piloting of the operational plans. • Draft a public investment plan (PIP) for the selected municipalities to assess the infrastructure and equipment required for the effective delivery of the EPHS, including any clinics’ upgrade & rehabilitation, and supplies of equipment and machines. • Revise the operational and investment plans to reflect any expenditures adjustments that are required to counter Covid-19 at the PHC levels. • Train the municipal PHC task force and health office staff of each PHC pilot municipality on the decentralized PHC administrative and supervisory functions the municipality is to carry out to ensure the provision of an improved package of PHC services within the municipality. • Assist each PHC pilot municipality establish an effective PHC database that initially covers a select number of clinics within that municipality. • Assist PHC clinics establish a system that reports the status and consumption of medicines and supplies on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. • Develop funding guidelines for PHC services that meet the requirements of a demand-driven, cost-efficient, service delivery framework.

OPERATIONAL RESPONSE: Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) is a non-profit, non-political, international NGO. Its aim is to provide a global response to the basic needs of populations affected by humanitarian crises.
Since 2017, Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) has been operating in Eastern and Southern Libya, particularly in the regions of Benghazi and Al Kufra, to strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable populations affected by ongoing crisis, to improve their access to basic services and to reinforce the health system through capacity building and support to the operational capacity of PHCCs. The organization’s activities in the country are built upon an integrated approach combining the provision of comprehensive primary healthcare services, psychosocial support interventions, WASH, NFI and protection assistance in order to promote health and well-being amongst the targeted populations. PUI intervention in Libya has enlarged from Benghazi city to include several sites in Great Benghazi, Ajdabiya, Derna and other cities in Jabal Al Akhdar and Al Marj mantikas, and more recently Al Kufra. PUI's current intervention is organized around 2 large geographical areas:
• Great Benghazi (and the coastal belt from Ajdabiya to Tobruk):
[UNHCR] PUI intervenes in 6 detention centers through a mobile health team providing a package of psychosocial support and primary health services including general medicine consultations, treatment of communicable and non- communicable diseases, sexual and reproductive health services, integrated management of Childhood Illness. When the health condition of the individual requires it, PUI ensures the referral of patients to private or public structures in order to ensure continuity of care for those who need it. Moreover, PUI teams regularly disseminate health awareness messages and hygiene good practices amongst the targeted population and stakeholders. Also, in order to improve the access to health and hygiene for migrants in the targeted detention centers, PUI distributes hygiene kits on a regular basis. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, specific Health and Hygiene promotion activities have allowed PUI to strengthen the beneficiaries’ ability to prevent the spread of the virus and to improve their knowledge regarding preventive measures and transmission pathways.
[EU-Delegation/IRC] The intervention in Benghazi municipality also includes the support to two health facilities for the development of a pilot model for the management of non-communicable diseases. This project implemented in consortium with IRC and PCI allowed the development of care pathways in order to have a better follow-up of these chronic pathologies for the patients. PUI plans to extend this model to other management structures targeting NCDs with a component of skill building and capacity building for staff belonging to the public health system and the provision of adapted tools.
[AICS/IRC] Through this project implemented in consortium, and in the continuity of rehabilitations conducted in past years, PUI will target and support with medical equipment five health care facilities in Benghazi, Al Bayda, Kufra and Rubyana in 2021. Structures will be targeted following evaluations conducted in the coming months.
• Al-Kufra [ECHO/Swiss Cooperation]
PUI intervention in the area of Al-Kufra started early 2020. A second mobile health team started its response in order to extend the geographical coverage of intervention to Rubyana and Tazirbu. The deployment of these teams helps to overcome the lack of medical resources in the area. The intervention is carried out through PHCCs that host the health activities delivered by PUI. A referral mechanism has also been put in place for medical emergencies.
Also, at community level, PUI coordinates a network of community health to implement sensitization activities, medical screening and referral services. In Al-Kufra as well, PUI offers psychosocial counselling via individual and group sessions. Through these activities, PUI delivers messages to highlight the importance of mental health to support the beneficiaries for efficient stress management especially during the COVID-19 crisis.
Furthermore, PUI has reinforced the prevention on health and hygiene related topics within the communities during the COVID-19 outbreak and supported local authorities in fighting the pandemic by providing trainings to health professionals. PUI’s capacity building component helped strengthen the health personnel’s ability to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak in the country. As the pandemic affected the procurement of some supplies especially personal protective equipment, PUI supported the COVID-19 Response Committees and health facilities through the donation of disinfection material, equipment, consumables and drugs

In addition, WW-GVC and MIGRACE will support one isolation center in Sebha by providing PPE kits, medical supplies and equipment.
The rehabilitation of the targeted health care facilities will focus on water storage, handwashing stations, safe management of infectious solid waste and minor sanitation interventions – as per SPHERE standards. Hardware activities will be also integrated with dissemination of IEC material, awareness sessions and tailor-made training targeting health facility staff on prevention and minimization of risk of contagion (IPC).
The activities related to the Health Sector aim at integrating the ongoing interventions in the area and so contributing to the improvement of living conditions of the most vulnerable population and to the strengthening of health services provided by the local health care facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
