The UK expects to spend up to £10 million in Libya this financial year through the Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). This aims to support the UN-led political process, and build the foundations for longer term stability, including through mine action, a stronger civil society and a more dynamic private sector. Libya also benefits from programmes focused on supporting vulnerable migrants, improving humanitarian coordination and improving access to mental health service. The UK coordinates closely with a number of international partners, including Italy, who we work with as one of several key donors to Libya, to maximise the impact of our aid programmes and deliver support for the most vulnerable.
