The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Libya seeks to support a countering violence and misinformation campaign in Libya.

Peace messaging campaigns encompass a wide range of communication activities, including: public diplomacy; strategic communications by governments: and targeted campaigns, through its European Union-funded Stability, Unity, and Social Cohesion (SUSC) project. Through this Call for Proposals, UNDP Libya seeks to support community leaders (including religious authorities) and faith-based organizations to counter-message violence within their communities. To this aim, UNDP Libya hopes to identify and engage CSOs and NGOs as key partners in the campaign.

The selected organizations will play an essential role in establishing a community dialogue platform and engaging and building the capacities of local community leaders to counter-message violence in their communities. The selected organizations will also be encouraged to actively participate in their municipality’s LAC to support the development of a municipal PVE strategy, particularly pertaining to peace messaging.

Applying organizations are expected to devise proposals for innovative peace messaging initiatives exclusively in one or several of the targeted municipalities of this Call for Proposals: Murzuq, Kufra, Ghat, Sebha, Bani Walid, Zuwara, and Misrata.
