CONTEXT AND METHODOLOGY
As the Libyan crisis enters its eighth year, episodic clashes between a multiplicity of armed actors continue to affect several regions, with an estimated 1.62 million displaced and non-displaced people affected in 2017. From 1 January - 31 October 2018, UNSMIL documented at least 175 civilian deaths and 335 injuries. The crisis in Libya is the result of conflict, political instability and a vacuum of effective governance, resulting in a further breakdown of functioning systems with considerable security, rule of law, social and economic consequences. The most pressing humanitarian needs identified are protection, health and cash & livelihoods, though as the humanitarian situation evolves, the strategies adopted by households to meet their needs remain underexplored.
In light of these continued knowledge gaps, with facilitation from REACH, the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) conducted a multi-sector data collection exercise between 23 July and 6 September 2018 to provide updated information on the needs and vulnerabilities of affected populations in Libya. 5,352 households (HH) were interviewed, including non-displaced (2,449), IDP (1,691) and returnee (1,212) HHs, across 20 Libyan mantikas5. Findings are generalisable at mantika level for each assessed population group with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 10% (unless stated otherwise).
