Volunteer Work Libya

Free and paid volunteer work opportunities in Libya with details and listings of volunteer work programs and projects in Libya. Since the fall of Muammar al-Gaddafi, the hopes of a new dawn in Libya have failed to materialise and the counry continues to face a fragile political situation, persistent security risks from armed groups and foreign mercenaries, and a political deadlock that has prevented national elections since 2021. While a UN-facilitated ceasefire and the establishment of a Government of National Unity in 2020 aimed to reduce violence, the country remains divided, with limited control by any single authority and ongoing risks of localized conflict, crime, terrorism, and civil unrest. As such, there is little scope for a volunteer work sector and what volunteer work there is focuses on delivering humanitarian aid.

Inevitably volunteer organisations offering work placements include Médecins Sans Frontières which is one of the few agencies still operating in Libya, and other humanitarian aid agencies who support refugees fleeing violence. However, even before the current state of instability, Libya was considered to be a 'High Human Development Country' with little need or desire for international volunteers, preferring to manage its own needs internally.

Libya probably isn't the best place to visit if you are considering becoming a volunteer in Africa however if you run or know of a volunteer work project in the country let us know by contacting us here. We look forward to hearing from you!
