Libya

Final Evaluation of the Pathways to Lasting Peace in Libya project

Interpeace

Bodhi led the end-line evaluation of Interpeace's Pathways to Lasting Peace Programme in Libya, which aimed to strengthen resilience and community cohesion in 18 communities across the country's east, south, and west from 2017 to 2019. This programme built upon an earlier peace mapping initiative that examined strategies and coping mechanisms of communities that remained resilient during the 2014 civil war. Our evaluation employed a mixed-methods approach structured along the OECD-DAC evaluation criteria, while also investigating cross-cutting issues such as gender and conflict sensitivity. The study aimed to inform and refine the programme by identifying key good practices, extracting lessons learned, and providing contextually-relevant and precise recommendations. This comprehensive evaluation was designed to offer insights into the programme's effectiveness in building community resilience and cohesion, and to guide future peacebuilding efforts in Libya's diverse regions.
