Summary
Enabling Environment Stage (S0) — no progress since 2020. Libya ongoing political instability (two competing government factions) severely constrains implementation. Very small project: USD 0.4M for 15 pastoral wells. No implementation milestones confirmed. Traffic light: Red due to political constraints.
Description

Installation of solar and wind-powered pumps on 15 pastoral wells in Sahel Al-Jafara region of Libya for sustainable water extraction. The project aims to create pastoral areas and natural reserves, increase vegetation cover, combat desertification, and support climate change adaptation for 250,000 residents in the community. Note: Libya's ongoing political instability since 2011 (two competing governments) severely constrains implementation of this and other infrastructure projects.
