the programme for "Strengthening democracy, good governance and civilian culture in the security and justice sectors" will help the Libyan government to deal with security, rule of law and reconciliation challenges (€10 million).
The EU´s aim in Libya is to help the transition to a democratic, stable and prosperous country. This also involves promotion of “deep and sustainable democracy”, based on strong, transparent and accountable institutions and a vibrant civil society.
Background
All three programmes are in line with the two Joint Communications of the European Commission and of the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy from 2011 "A new response to a changing Neighbourhood" and "A partnership for democracy and shared prosperity with the Southern Mediterranean" by focusing on:
Democratic transition and institution building; the three programmes are supporting stabilisation by empowering Libyan public administration as well as civil society organisations;
A stronger partnership with the people: involvement of the civil society, especially in policy dialogue, is an important part of all three programmes;
Sustainable and inclusive growth and economic development with the TVET component.
