Libya
In collaboration with the relevant Libyan authorities and in support of national efforts to strengthen the emergency preparedness of the water and sanitation sector, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) concluded end of November 2025, a specialized training course titled “Crisis Management and Emergency Response in Water and Sanitation Facilities.”
The training was delivered as part of the second cycle of the National Capacity Strengthening Program for Libya’s water and sanitation sector, in partnership with WEE Pros JO, a regional leader in delivering sustainable engineering solutions. The course brought together 21 participants from key Libyan ministries and sector institutions.
The program also benefited from the hands-on expertise of Jordanian water authorities, who shared practical lessons and strategies from their own experience managing water service continuity during emergencies.
The training focused on:
Assessing critical failures in infrastructure,
Prioritizing emergency interventions,
Coordinating response efforts, and
Ensuring uninterrupted service in water and sanitation systems.
These efforts fall within the ICRC’s mandate to support and protect essential public services and infrastructure, and mark a significant step toward strengthening the technical competencies and institutional readiness of Libya’s water and sanitation sector—ultimately contributing to more effective and sustainable services for vulnerable communities.
