The overall objective of this grant is to strengthen the Libyan democratic process through raising awareness on the significance of electoral processes among Libyan voters and increase their participation in municipal council elections. Project awareness and knowledge campaign/ proposals should be innovative and attractive and must take into account the current context of COVID-19 and applicable preventive and precautionary measures. That means integrating public health protective and precautionary messages and instructions for the prevention of the infection. The proposed campaigns can include the use of local dialects for written texts and songs. Projects should target voters directly, communicate with them, monitor reactions to messages related to the electoral process and the role of municipal councils, as well write suggestions and recommendations for each activity based on interaction with targeted audience.

All types of activities whose implementation requires direct communication with citizens or that may cause mass gatherings, or the distribution of posters or brochures to citizens must be avoided. Some examples for eligible awareness campaign activities in the context of COVID-19 include:

• Media campaigns (Radio, Broadcast, TV & social media campaigns);
• Live streaming through social media;
• Short video/animation (30 - 90 seconds), short films (1 – 2 minutes);
• Special designs for social media;
• Stickers for streets;
• Billboards;
• Composing posts for social media and SMS messages;
• Stand-up Comedy shows (Video)
