Overview of position
UNDP’s project ‘Strengthening Local capacities for Resilience and Recovery ’ is funded by the EU, aiming at supporting local authorities in Libya to respond to the many conflict and human mobility induced challenges - by strengthening the local resilience and recovery mechanisms - that impact negatively citizens’ access to essential services, sources of livelihoods, the social cohesion and security of communities. The three outputs will be delivered primarily in targeted municipalities through direct support by UNDP, in cooperation with CSOs and INGOs and government institutions as well as other development partners active in targeted municipalities.
The project aims at responding to the many conflict and human mobility induced challenges - by strengthening the local resilience and recovery mechanisms - that impact negatively citizens’ access to essential services, sources of jobs and livelihoods, the social cohesion and security of communities. Target beneficiaries are host communities – including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees – migrants and refugees.
The mounting humanitarian needs in Libya and growing fiscal pressure, calls for quickly upgrading the capacities of local actors to support the resilience of the local service delivery systems (health, education, water, electricity, sanitation, urban infrastructure, etc.) and to improve its performance to the extent possible. This requires supporting local problem-solving mechanisms to relieve bottlenecks in the rehabilitation, operations and maintenance of local services and facilitating partnerships between central and local authorities as well as state and non-state actors, with special attention given to municipal leadership in that process. The project will support municipalities in identifying, planning, leading and coordinating efforts to achieve resilience in local service delivery and socio-economic recovery; as well as in improving the access and quality to public and social services. 
Improving the resiliency of service delivery under duress means also guaranteeing that host communities – including IDPs and returnees – as well as refugees and migrants across Libya have equally access to services that are better tailored to their specific needs.
The project is built around 3 outputs:
  1. Better provision of basic services at local level and increase access for most vulnerable groups from host communities - including Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs) and returnees - as well as migrants and refugees is ensured;
  2. Local authorities and administrations are supported in fulfilling their role and responsibilities with a focus on enforcing local stability and community security;
  3. Local economic recovery/development, including job creation and livelihoods are supported.

All three outputs of the project will be implemented regionally in the West, South and East of Libya.
The project coordinator, based in Tripoli, will be responsible for the strategic programme planning, coordination and implementation of project activities, including planning processes and timely delivery of results taking into consideration agreed upon workplans.
The Project Coordinator will be responsible for the needs assessment process in their locations and will work closely with the field engineers who will help assess the damage and estimate the cost of rehabilitation. During the needs assessment phase the project coordinators will work closely with the needs assessment team leader. Once the needs assessment is completed the project coordinators will help facilitate local prioritization exercises to agree on local priorities and an action plan. Once the action plan is agreed upon, the project coordinator will be responsible for the day-to-day monitoring of the project progress in their location.
