Bashar Salem Eltalhi

Fellowship Programme

In my current role working as Libya Country Manager for a non-profit organization PCI. I have gained varied experience facilitating conflict transformation in Libya. I have developed a wide range of practical skills and experiences including strategy development, project management, policy analysis, mediation support, and advocacy. I granted the opportunity to develop programs according to the local context, and these programs aim to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations and local authorities to promote peace and stability in Libya. I manage Community Driven Grants Program aiming to enhance the capacities of civil society organizations and local authorities to promote peace in Libya, involving mayors, local council’s representatives, civil society actors and community leaders. Leasing between local stakeholders and donors has provided me with a first-hand approach to all stages of the grant cycle including beneficiary identification, feasibility studies, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. With the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, I was responsible for conducting daily research and analysis duties, as well as ad-hoc analysis whenever it is called for. I provided reports, and support senior staff with their liaisons, events, meetings, and field trips. I also liaised individually – in my capacity – as appropriate. I supported project managers with designing, developing and implementing projects, and either complete or assist with comprehensive mapping projects, such as mapping Libyan institutions and social groups, security sector governance capabilities, and legislative frameworks. I worked as a Public Information Officer with the UN Support Mission in Libya. I prepared reports, gathered up-to-date information about various groups, and reflected the general Libyan public sentiment. I was responsible for expanding my personal and media networks within Libya, translating news articles from Arabic into English, and assisting with the organization of events and programs.
