Libya

Libya is the first country where Super-Novae intervenes, since we have been present there since 2021, with a team of 15 people divided between Tripoli and Sebha. With a set of 6 ongoing projects, Super-Novae is continuing its common thread of supporting the resilience and dignity of populations by supporting the creation of economic opportunities. Whether they are young ex-combatants and their families, foreign workers or unemployed young people, Super-Novae supports them in vocational training and business creation in Tripoli, Gharyan, Misrata and Sebha. Recognizing the social barriers to employment, Super-Novae also strives to prevent the stigmatization of its particularly vulnerable target groups, by encouraging their sense of community and by supporting their mental health through sports and artistic activities. Recognizing also the lack of dynamism in the private sector and the need to diversify opportunities beyond the state and oil sectors, Super-Novae supports the agricultural sector, as well as the innovation ecosystem with two incubators created with local partners, one of which has already succeeded in raising international funds by its own means, and the other has led Gharyan University to include entrepreneurship in all its study programs. Finally, because Super-Novae was one of the few organizations to have access to the territory, we deployed an emergency medical response in Derna following Hurricane Daniel.
