About ACTED |
| ACTED’s programme portfolio in Libya includes a significant component on Support to Civil Society. As part of this programmatic pillar, which is managed by the Civil Society Technical Coordinator, ACTED provides sub-grants to Libyan CSOs to conduct small- and medium-scale projects in their communities. These sub-grants are subject to ACTED’s strict compliance procedures, in terms of FLATS (including procurement procedures), and reporting (narrative and financial). To support CSOs to manage these requirements, and to ensure the compliance of CSO sub-grants to mitigate any risk of financial losses through ineligible expenses, ACTED has a team of Grants Officers in place, who work closely with CSOs.4

Context of the position and key challenges |
| ACTED has been programming in Libya since March 2011, initially focusing on responding to the humanitarian crisis in the wake of the conflict and on providing vital humanitarian assistance to displaced and vulnerable populations. During this period ACTED utilized its assessment and mapping capabilities to help coordinate and provide information for the humanitarian response and reconstruction of the country. Since January 2012 built on the strong networks developed during the emergency response, ACTED is offering capacity building, grants, and networking opportunities to civil society and local governance actors under its Civil Initiatives Libya (CIL) banner in cooperation with GiZ, EuropeAid and MEAE, as well as support to social entrepreneurs funded by the British Embassy in Libya. The overall objective of CIL is to define methods and approaches, adapted to the Libyan context, and aiming at improving the resilience of communities and local institutions in time of crisis. Since 2014, ACTED is working on cash-based intervention in partnership with ECHO, GAC and UNHCR to address the needs of the IDPs and returnees in the post-conflict areas.
