#PromoteStability
GLOBAL FRAGILITY ACT OVERVIEW
The 2019 Global Fragility Act (GFA), a Presidential Initiative, and the US Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability (SPCPS) bring together U.S. government efforts across diplomacy, development, and defense to address root causes of violence and build lasting peace. This ten-year strategic approach prioritizes partnering with local governments, organizations, and communities for longer time horizons, establishing the foundation for sustainable stability. In Libya, USAID leads assistance and development activities targeting the sources of instability and empowering civil society, strengthening governance, increasing economic opportunity, and supporting locally-driven reconciliation.
LIBYA OBJECTIVES
The 10-year plan (2023-2033) focuses on the southern Libyan region of Fezzan– an area that has been historically neglected and marginalized – to create new momentum for nationwide stability. It promotes the inclusion of women, youth, and other traditional marginalized groups. Within this plan, USAID has three objectives:
Addressing unique exclusion and vulnerabilities in Libya’s historically marginalized south to increase stability.
Addressing targeted grievances and drivers of instability and promoting alternatives to militarization.
Supporting Libyan national reconciliation efforts, community-led dialogue and transitional justice initiatives.
