Tanmia 360

What Tanmia 360 does

Tanmia 360 is a Libyan non-governmental organization founded in 2018 and headquartered in Benghazi, with an additional presence in Tripoli. It is led by a cohort of young professionals under a Board of Trustees, with Abdulrahman Elgheriani serving as President and CEO and an executive bench covering strategy/governance/legal, project management, marketing, international cooperation, and ICT. The organization pursues "comprehensive community development" through a portfolio of five branded programs: Edrak 360 Youth (leadership training on law, economics, public administration, international relations, and conflict sensitivity for ages 18–35), Riada 360 Jadwa (feasibility-study and entrepreneurship training), the Tanmia Urban Forum: The Road to Benghazi 2033 (urban planning and reconstruction dialogue), Hanging Garden (environmental sustainability at its 360 Space facility), and Libya Very Verified (digital literacy and anti-disinformation, funded by the U.S. Embassy Libya and delivered with IREX). Activities are delivered through a dedicated 360 Space facility in Benghazi, partner venues such as the University of Benghazi and Student Center in Tripoli, and events such as the Libyan Entrepreneurs vs. Covid-19 Conference and Chevening Scholarship awareness sessions.

The business model is grant-based and non-commercial: Tanmia 360 has no pricing, no app, and no SDK/API, and serves beneficiaries free of charge. Revenue is sourced from project-based donor funding and grants, with documented financial and implementation partners including USAID (via the Libyan Transition Initiative), the U.S. Embassy Libya, the European Union, the World Bank, UNDP, IOM, UNITAR, the British Council, the Government of Japan, the German Foundation for International Cooperation, the Municipality of Benghazi, the Benghazi and Derna Construction Fund, Chemonics, IREX, and the University of Benghazi. Programs are anchored to a published Strategic Plan 2023-2026 with five priorities — stability and social cohesion, environmental sustainability, economic empowerment, security and rule of law, and human development — and the organization reports operational scale of 6,000+ training hours delivered, 1,700+ projects and programs since 2018, 2,000+ direct and 1,000+ indirect beneficiaries, and 3,500+ registered participants. Geographic reach is currently Libya-only (Benghazi and Tripoli), with stated aspiration to operate nationally.

Broad incumbents

• Mercy Corps: Major international NGO actively operating in Libya with youth, economic recovery, and governance programming. Comparable as it works with the same donor pool (USAID, EU) and delivers community development programs in the same fragile-state context, but at materially larger scale.
• International Rescue Committee (IRC): Global humanitarian organization with active Libya operations covering youth programming, livelihoods, and governance. Comparable through its Libya presence and donor relationships (USAID, EU, UN), though significantly larger and broader in scope.
• Relief International: Humanitarian and development NGO with operations across the Middle East including Libya, focusing on youth livelihoods, education, and community resilience. Comparable in mission and donor base, though it operates across multiple countries at significantly larger scale.
• IREX: US-based international development organization that runs youth leadership, media literacy, and civic engagement programs globally, including the Libya Very Verified program with Tanmia 360. Comparable as it delivers similar youth-focused, governance-related programming and shares USAID/U.S. State Department as funders.
• Amideast: US-based NGO operating across the MENA region delivering education, workforce development, and youth leadership programming with offices in Libya and other Arab countries. Comparable through shared focus on youth capacity-building in MENA and similar donor ecosystem.

Comparable as it shares the stability/social cohesion strategic priority and operates in the same fragile-state funding environment.

Others
