| Overview of position |
| The United Nations Security Council Resolution 2009 established the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in September 2011. The UNSMIL has since commenced its support to the country’s new transitional authorities in their post-conflict efforts. These range from assisting the Libyan authorities restore public security and the rule of law, promote inclusive political dialogue and national reconciliation, help the Libyans embark on the drafting of a new constitution and lay the foundation for elections. The most recent UN Security Council Resolution 2434 mandates UNSMIL to support the organization of elections in Libya, in full accordance with the principle of national ownership.
Following the revolution in 2011 that led to the overthrow of 40 years of authoritarian rule, the clashes have severely impacted both the political and economic conditions affecting the macro-stability of the country, and the lives and livelihood of the Libyan people. Since the country’s first free elections on 7 July 2012 for the General National Congress (GNC), two subsequent electoral events took place: the Constitutional Drafting Assembly election on 20 February 2014 amidst violence and boycott by some minority groups, and the election of a new legislative body, the House of Representatives (HoR) in July 2014. In addition, Libya conducted 92 municipal council elections during 2014 and 2015.
With an overall goal of building the capacity of Libya’s transitional governance structures and facilitating citizens’ participation in political processes, this UNDP/UNSMIL joint initiative has been designed to support Libya in holding municipal council elections in 2018 – 2020. Through support to the Central Committee for Municipal Council Elections (CCMCE), the designated body responsible for Local Elections, the project expects to contribute to the timely planning, preparation and conduct of the upcoming municipal elections. The project focuses on support to and capacity building of the CCMCE to prepare and conduct credible election operations including a successful voter registration and prepare and conduct voter/civic education and awareness raising activities. In addition, the project supports post-election capacity development of newly elected municipal councils in Libya.
