EU Funded ProgrammeFor Libyans, By Libyans
A five-year EU-funded programme (2019-2024) empowering Libyan civil society to advance the rule of law through dialogue, research, and grassroots action.
SHARP (Shared Action on Rule of Law Progress) ran in two phases between 2019 and 2024, supporting Libyan-led initiatives to advance the rule of law. The programme combined dialogue facilitation, capacity building, and small-grant projects to drive change from the ground up.
Across both phases, SHARP grew from 27 to 64 partner organizations, organized 259 SUQ dialogues, and reached over 4,000 direct participants, all while maintaining strong female participation and 100% Libyan-led implementation in its second phase.
