December 31, 2018-January 31, 2019 Detailed Methodology • The survey was conducted on behalf of the International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights in Survey Research by Altai Consulting under the supervision of Redstone Scientific. • Data was collected between December 31, 2018 and January 31, 2019 through computer-assisted telephone interviews conducted from a call center in . • The sample consists of a total 4,636 respondents aged 18 and older, with cell phone access, and from one of the targeted 15 municipalities in Libya. IRI has worked with these municipalities (with the exception of Derna) through training on organizational development, public relations, and project management since 2014. • A sample of 300 was set for each municipality. A gender quota and age category cap were also used to enhance representativeness. • A random-number generator was used to generate syntactically-correct numbers in lots of 10,000 at a time. Respondents were then screened for municipality to ensure that they were from one of the targeted areas, and also for gender and age. • The confidence interval for the sample in each municipality is not more than plus or minus 5.6 percent at the mid-range with a confidence level of 95 percent. • The actual sample size and confidence interval for each municipality at the mid-range with a confidence level of 95 percent is as follows: Al Bayda (n=310, +/-5.6%); (n=304, +/- 5.6%); Derna (n=307, +/-5.6%); Ghadamis (n=311, +/-5.6%); Ghat (n=306, +/-5.6%); (n=305, +/-5.6%); Sabha (n=308, +/-5.6%); Sabratha (n=302, +/-5.6%); Shahat (n=315, +/-5.5%); (n=313, +/-5.5%); Souq al Jouma (n=305, +/-5.6%); Surman (n=314, +/-5.5%); Tajoura (n=306, +/-5.6%); (n=318, +/-5.5%); Tripoli Center (n=312, +/-5.5%). • The response rate was 19 percent. • The information in this report has been compiled in accordance with international standards for market and social research methodologies. Figures in charts and tables may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. 2 Outlook Would you say that things in your local area are heading in the right direction or the wrong direction?

No evidence points to tertiary GER levels having dropped between 2003 and 2013. Indeed, the opposite is more likely to be true due to increased public spending between 2006 and 2011 (from 31% to 58% of GDP, according to the IMF). However, nationally representative surveys conducted by Altai suggest that enrollment in tertiary education may have begun to drop as security and public service provision in Libya have deteriorated. Results from 10 Altai surveys conducted between 2017 and 2018 suggest that the number of Libyans benefitting from a tertiary education has decreased and may now be closer to 53%. *Not for Public Distribution 58 Demographics (3/3)
