Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

UNICEF in Libya recently announced the development of Child Protection maps and the support of mental health in the country. This initiative aims to draw maps of the child protection system in Libya, reaching eight thousand children and caregivers.

This announcement followed a meeting organised by UNICEF in collaboration with the Ministries of Planning, Social Affairs, Health, and Education of the Government of National Unity, and the Social Solidarity Fund. The meeting discussed significant progress under the third pillar of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, focusing on developing social and human capital in Libya.

The statement highlighted the support for the mental health of 11,000 community members and the care of 3,000 children through early childhood development funds. In January, UNICEF reported that 32,000 children in Libya are suffering from severe malnutrition.

Additionally, UNICEF’s annual report warned of the worsening vulnerability of children due to climate change and water scarcity. These challenges compound the already dire situation for children in Libya, a country grappling with the consequences of prolonged conflict and political instability.

Libya’s ongoing crisis has severely impacted its healthcare system, education, and social services, with children being particularly vulnerable. UNICEF’s efforts in Libya are part of a broader strategy to address the urgent needs of children and families affected by the crisis.

The creation of Child Protection maps is a crucial step in identifying and addressing the needs of at-risk children. These maps will help stakeholders understand the geographical distribution of vulnerable children and the services available to them. This tool is essential for effective planning and implementation of child protection programs.

The focus on mental health reflects the growing recognition of the psychological impact of conflict on children. Providing mental health support is critical in helping children cope with trauma and ensuring their overall well-being.

Overall, UNICEF’s initiatives in Libya represent a comprehensive approach to improving the lives of children affected by the crisis. By addressing both immediate needs and long-term development goals, UNICEF aims to contribute to a more stable and prosperous future for Libyan children.
