Final evaluation Women and youth as bridge builders in Libya programme

The programme ‘Women and Youth as Bridge builders: Strengthening Resilience in Libya’ (2016-2019) was implemented by Cordaid and Human Security Collective. The programme aimed to increase the collective voice of local activists and civil society organizations (CSOs) working at community level and national level on the topic of women, peace and security. The vision of this programme was to contribute to an enabling environment for women’s participation and empowerment in Libya allowing CSOs, activists, men and women to play their role as bridge builders to increase human security and to contribute to a culture of peace in Libya.

How to navigate?

When you scroll down, you will see graphs containing many dots. Each dot represents one answer. The colour of the dot indicates the gender of the respondent, or the region they are from. If you hover over a dot with your mouse, you will find some more information about the respondent. If you want to go a bit more in depth, you can click on a dot. On the left side of your screen, you can read a story that the respondent shared. If you click on a dot, you will also see that the dot becomes slightly bigger in the graph.
