UN Volunteer with disability steps up for inclusive education in Libya

Asraa Alghali is the first national female UN Volunteer with disability to serve in Libya. She is currently serving with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). As an Education Sector Coordinator, she liaises with government and civil society representatives to support the implementation of inclusive education.

The Libya Education Response Monitoring Dashboard documents that some 326,000 people in Libya are in need of education support. UNICEF works to ensure access to safe, inclusive and quality education, particularly for children affected by the protracted crisis. In strengthening support to humanitarian coordination among education actors in the country, UNICEF has a special focus on engaging with community-based organizations and the Ministry of Education.
