The Platform for Libya’s Future

Understanding Libya’s continuing and multi-faceted conflict calls for more in depth analysis of the complexities of the country’s reality. Exiting the current conflict dynamics and building a sustainable peace needs a more constructive and inclusive dialogue on key issues for the country’s future.

The Platform for Libya’s Future is a multi-track project combining field-based research, dialogue support and capacity-building. It is developed and implemented in partnership with a team of young, non-political Libyan activists from different regions of the country.

Key to our work is the production of high-quality research on key drivers of change in Libya, in close cooperation with Libyan and international researchers and experts. We believe in the value of sharing and debating research outputs with political and societal actors in Libya and beyond. Research can feed dialogue, and in turn dialogue can feed research.

In our vision the youth is also central. The Libya Platform supports Libya’s youth, male and female, by helping them gain the skills and knowledge that will help them play a more active and meaningful role in building the future of their country.
