Libya has a young population, and youth can play a fundamental role in the stabilisation, national reconciliation and democratic transition of the country. Young people must be engaged with and supported through better education and programmes designed to give them the tools to be the future citizens Libya needs.

In Libya, the EU prioritizes the promotion of active citizenship, participation in political and social affairs, and socioeconomic integration of youth. To translate these principles into practice, EU support is focused on three main areas:

1. Promoting economic development and socioeconomic integration of Libyan youth;
2. Supporting a better access to quality education for Libyan children;
3. Promoting unformal education and cultural activities for the Libyan citizens of tomorrow.
