Main skills: Community-based research; stakeholder engagement; participatory approaches; local governance; research-to-practice.

LIFEMAKERS is seeking to join a Water4All consortium interested in incorporating Libya as a case study and field setting for research on sustainable water management.

We are particularly interested in projects addressing inclusive water governance, groundwater challenges, community participation, institutional coordination and evidence-informed decision-making, with potential links between Topics 4 and 1.

LIFEMAKERS can contribute a strong research-to-practice and field-level perspective, supporting community and stakeholder engagement, participatory and qualitative research, local data collection, assessments, field validation and piloting, and engagement with relevant Libyan institutions and communities.

We are interested in collaborating with universities and research institutions with complementary scientific expertise in IWRM, groundwater management, hydrology, water governance, monitoring and data, social sciences and water resilience.

Our objective is to help ensure that research approaches and solutions are locally grounded, inclusive and applicable to Libya and the wider North African/Mediterranean context.
