An intensive training course is currently underway at CIHEAM Bari, in close collaboration with the partner Ministry of Local Government of the State of Libya, partner. Organised as part of the EFEF Plus project, funded by the MAECI DGIT, the course is intended for four technical experts from the beneficiary municipalities  (Sebha, Murzuq, Ubari, and Ghat) and four officials from the Ministry of Local Government’s departments of Territorial Planning, IT, and Monitoring & Evaluation. 

The participants are accompanied by the national project coordinator from the partner Ministry and a representative of the International Cooperation Office of the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The course, made possible thanks to the valuable support of the Italian Embassy in Tripoli, focuses on the functional characteristics and use of agricultural machinery and equipment currently being delivered to the four municipalities.

Training Highlights:
