Libya earlier benefited in 2018 during the first phase of preparation from GCF support to prepare for climate finance. The Libya Readiness Project phase 1 aimed at strengthening the capacities of the National Designated Authority (NDA) to fulfil its roles and responsibilities in connection to the GCF and coordinate with different stakeholders. This resulted in the creation of the GCF NDA, which is the main beneficiary of this project, the establishment of a non-objection mechanism, the development of a communication strategy and a gender study, as well as help fill some in capacity gaps and to promote the effective participation of relevant stakeholders (public and private sector). 

The READINESS Libya II project implemented by OSS and financed by GCF, aims mainly at enhancing the capacities of the NDA members and relevant institutions as well as supporting them to identify climate priorities and develop a budgeted strategic roadmap that guides the access to climate finance and particularly their activities with the GCF.
