The Government of Germany has renewed its partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in support of Libyan elections. Committing additional German resources to UN-coordinated international election support, Dr. Buck underscored the importance of elections to sustainable peace, political stability and development. To date, Germany has contributed approximately USD 7 million to the UNDP Promoting Elections for the People (PEPOL) project in Libya. PEPOL provides technical assistance to Libya’s High National Elections Commission (HNEC), supporting its capacity and readiness to prepare and hold national elections as part of its 2023 – 2025 Country Programme. The project is implemented by the United Nations Electoral Support Team (UNEST), comprised of experts from UNDP and the UN Support Mission to Libya (UNSMIL).
