Program Overview
IREX, with support from the U.S. Embassy Libya, implements the Very Verified Libya program to help Libyan youth develop the critical and analytical thinking and emotional regulation skills they need to be able to discern misinformation and manipulative content from factual reporting. Libyan youth will also develop the digital wellbeing and awareness to navigate their information space, and the digital citizenship and empathy-building skills to engage in community life as the country takes tentative steps toward reconciliation and peacebuilding.
During the first phase of the program, the IREX team reached out Libyan organizations, and involved team members in piloting the online course, named Libya Tatahaqaq.
In this the second phase of the program, IREX seeks to work with Libyan organizations from several locations in and out of Libya (including Benghazi, Tripoli, Sabha, and Tunisia) to form the Libya Tahaqaq Partner Network. IREX and the US Embassy will identify the anchor partner - the organization that will serve as the backbone of the network. Our goal is to have 4-6 partners in the network. IREX will facilitate an inclusive process that will support each of the partner organizations to become even more effective, and able to integrate the Libya Tatahaqaq learning platform into their activities.
This fund may provide up to 15,000 USD per organization. IREX reserves the right to accept one or none of the proposals submitted.
Subgrant awards will support staff time to work on the Libya Tatahaqaq trainings, honoraria for community training facilitators, a Training of Trainers (TOT) in Tunisia, and other activities as determined in partnership with IREX. Awards will be for 6 months, September 2022 – February 2023.
