CONTEXT: The Libyan uprising nine years ago left the country in a
state of turmoil. Since 2011, continued conflict in many parts of
the country and political instability have resulted in a vacuum
of effective governance and caused significant collapse in the
country’s political-institutional system. Security, rule of law
and social and economic well-being of the Libyan population have
all been severely affected and over 400,000 persons are now
internally displaced across the country. The lack of a unified,
national government combined with high levels of corruption and
free-flowing weaponry have led to a weak, divided state under the
control of a multitude of armed groups. This is gradually
affecting the social and community cohesion of the country, as
people are torn between their tribal and family allegiances and
their hope to live again as a united country. The resilience of
the Libyan population is steadily reducing, as individuals and
communities are facing uncertainty regarding their future, with a
very limited capacity of the authorities and relevant
institutions to respond to their needs. The healthcare system in
Libya is one of the hardest hit, having deteriorated to the point
of collapse. Ongoing challenges include increased rates of
chronic illness, disability and access to essential services such
as medicine and rehabilitation. Hospitals struggle to absorb the
number of patients and to cope with a lack of resources,
including a shortage of staff and essential medicines and
supplies. According to the World Health Organization, around 1.3
million people have no access to life-saving health care
services. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the already existing
vulnerability of the Libyan population, adding up to the effects
from years of conflict, and a collapsing healthcare system.
Number of cases have reached a peak in August of September, the
majority of confirmed cases being in the main urban areas, such
Tripoli, Misrata, Benghazi or Sebha. While Libya already faced
high Explosive Ordnance (EO) contamination due to nine years of
conflict, Explosive ordnance contamination in the greater Tripoli
area and in Sirt has increased considerably since the LNA
offensive in April 2019 and the counter offensive of GNA in March
2020. Meanwhile most humanitarian mine action operations were
suspended in areas affected by the hostilities in the second
quarter of 2019. Indiscriminate shelling, Explosive Ordnance (EO)
left by the various forces involved in the conflict and the
increased use of improvised explosive devices caused new
displacements, a new layer of land contamination, and a rise in
EO related accidents, killing and injuring civilians and
non-civilians, including mine clearance and humanitarian workers.
The identification of the most vulnerable individuals, including
people with disabilities or injuries, and the rapid response to
essential needs is a priority for the humanitarian community
working throughout Libya. The political conflict and humanitarian
crisis is likely to continue throughout the year 2020; whilst at
the same time continue to hamper the delivery of primarily
medical and socio-economic services, complicating access and
increasing the vulnerability of the general population. WORKING
ENVIRONMENT HI is currently implementing several programmes in
Tripoli, Misrata and Benghazi, supporting vulnerable persons and
their families such as people with disabilities (including people
living with mental health problems), people with chronic
diseases, older persons and displaced persons and families.
Activities include provision of comprehensive rehabilitation
services including physical therapy and psychosocial support,
provision of assistive & mobility devices as per needed; capacity
building, technical support and donations of assistive devices
and/or materials and equipment to health partners; training on
inclusion principles to other humanitarian actors and health
workers; Since early 2019 HI is implementing a three-year project
entitled ‘Action for Mental Health Assistance in Libya’
(AMAL) as part of wider initiatives to improve the access and
quality of health care services in Libya. Implemented in
partnership with the Libyan Ministry of Health and a Tunisian
NGO, the overall objective of the project is to allow the most
vulnerable people in Libya from host communities, those
internally displaced and returnees and migrants, suffering from
mental health disorders/psychosocial disabilities to regain or to
preserve good mental health by accessing quality interventions at
community level, primary health care level, and secondary and
tertiary level. From July 2020, HI also started a one-year
project in partnership with UNDP, which aims to enhance the
development of a culture of peace, cooperation and responsibility
– with a focus on youth (male and female) – through improved
provision of MHPSS services at community level. This project will
strongly rely on Libyan Civil Society Organizations. HI is also
involved in Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) activities, HI
supports the Libyan Mine Action Center (LibMAC), UNMAS and other
ministries in developing a victim assistance strategy and action
plan. As a response to increased ERW related accidents, HI is
also resuming its Risk Education activities in greater Tripoli in
November. The post holder will be expected to travel regularly
between his / her operational bases in Benghazi, and Tunis, where
is based HI Maghreb regional office. This being said, important
challenges exist to move in and out of the country. Indeed, since
March 2020, heavy sanitary measures have been enforced both in
Libya and Tunisia, such as border closures and travel
restrictions, disruption of supply chain, lockdown, curfews,
movement’s restrictions and social distancing. As a result, the
expatriates working for HI Libya mission are currently operating
on a “semi-remote” management mode and the senior country
team is expected to adapt accordingly its management style,
communication and support / control mechanisms. DESCRIPTION OF
