The Libya Electoral Security Planning and Implementation (LESPI) program aimed to address threats to the electoral security environment at the national and local levels to help support peaceful, transparent, inclusive and legitimate elections and lay the foundation for improved citizen security and governance.
To do so, the program provided skill building, mentoring and public outreach to strengthen security actors’ ability to effectively prevent, mitigate, or de-escalate signs of electoral violence.
With program support, existing and newly established electoral security bodies at the national and local levels improved coordination and developed and carried out strategies to promote peaceful elections.
The 18-month program was funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Assistance Coordination in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs and implemented by Creative Associates International’s Electoral Education and Integrity Practice Area.
