After months of restoration work, the former building has been transformed into a functional and high-class learning institute.

Background

The overall objective of this activity has been to support Libyan border guards in providing better training capacity to its staff and strengthening the operational capacity in the long term. The scope of the Mission’s project was to rehabilitate also the student accommodation building (enabling student’s and trainer’s participation from various parts of the country), comprising a two-story building. The project was successfully completed with ambitious renovation and it will enable sustainable in-house training capacities.
