Protecting most vulnerable populations from the COVID 19 pandemic in Libya

The overall objective of the action is to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to reduce avoidable morbidity and mortality in Libya. This corresponds to EUTF North of Africa Window (EUTF-NOA) Strategic Objective 3: to strengthen protection and resilience of those in need.

The specific objective is to provide specialised support to the Libyan authorities to address COVID-19 related challenges as well as assist the most vulnerable population in Libya, in particular (but not exclusively), migrants and forcibly displaced persons.

Main objectives

This Action will be structured through three main outcomes, namely: i) Support to coordination mechanisms, detection and surveillance; ii) Preventive measures to decrease risks and support most vulnerable groups and iii) Public health response to the health crisis and humanitarian needs. Within the framework of these three outcomes, the nine pillars (named outputs in the log-frame of this Action) will be tackled to the extent possible.
