Libyan Technology Foundation’s First Official Contribution Accepted by ITU-D Study Groups

The Libyan Technology Foundation (LTF) has reached a new milestone in its engagement with specialized international platforms, with the acceptance of its first official contribution to the Study Groups of the International Telecommunication Union’s Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D), as part of the work of Study Group 2.

The contribution presents the experience of NextGen – Building a Safe and Responsible Digital Generation as a Libyan case study for discussion under two Study Group questions:

Q3/2 – Securing Information and Communication Networks and Building a Cybersecurity Culture

This question focuses on strengthening cybersecurity, fostering awareness and a culture of safe digital practices, and exchanging best practices and experiences in this field, including child online protection.

Q5/2 – Adoption of New and Emerging Digital Technologies and Services and Development of Digital Skills

This question focuses on developing digital skills and capacities, encouraging the adoption and effective use of modern technologies, and supporting areas that align with NextGen’s objectives of digitally empowering children and young people.

NextGen is a strategic programme launched by the Libyan Technology Foundation. It targets children aged 7 to 17, as well as their surrounding environment, with the aim of building a digitally aware generation equipped with digital and leadership skills and capable of using technology safely and responsibly.

The programme focuses on developing technical, digital, and leadership skills; raising digital awareness across schools, families, and communities; promoting a culture of cybersecurity and online safety; empowering children and young people; developing young ambassadors who can share knowledge with their peers; and building a sustainable network of partners across the education and technology sectors.

Since its launch, NextGen has moved into field implementation through a series of awareness and training activities and workshops at several schools, including Al Maali School, ISM School, Kids Academy, Inaro School, and Al Basma International School.

In October, LTF’s contribution will be discussed in Geneva as part of the work of ITU-D Study Group 2, alongside contributions and experiences presented by participating entities from different countries. This will provide an opportunity to exchange expertise, discuss lessons learned, and draw on practical experiences to support the development of future ITU studies and outputs.

The acceptance of this contribution represents the transition of a Libyan experience from local implementation to a specialized international platform for discussion and knowledge exchange. It also marks a new dimension of LTF’s engagement in the work of the International Telecommunication Union in areas related to cybersecurity, digital skills, and the safe and responsible use of technology.

The Libyan Technology Foundation recognizes the efforts of Eng. Alaa Al-Saghir, NextGen Project Manager, and all LTF members whose contributions have supported the programme’s development and helped bring its experience to this stage.

Libyan Technology Foundation Becomes the First to Host a RIPE Atlas Probe in Libya

Libyan Technology Foundation Becomes the First to Host a RIPE Atlas Probe in Libya

A new step toward enhancing Libya’s presence in the global internet measurement network

The Libyan Technology Foundation announces its hosting of the RIPE Atlas Software Probe, becoming the first entity in Libya to host a measurement point connected to the global RIPE Atlas network.

RIPE Atlas is a global initiative managed by RIPE NCC to measure internet performance and analyze its operational infrastructure. Its probes continuously perform measurements covering latency, traceroute, reachability, and DNS functionality, along with key metrics related to connection stability and quality.

Hosting a RIPE Atlas Probe in Libya represents more than just adding a technical node to a global network. It establishes an independent measurement point from within the country, delivering a more accurate picture of internet connection quality and routing paths between Libyan networks and global services.

Through this initiative, the Foundation primarily aims to support scientific and technical research by building a data-driven understanding of international connectivity, analyzing routing paths, monitoring disruptions, and building the necessary technical insight to improve internet resilience in Libya.

Integrating Libya into this global measurement framework marks a significant milestone toward providing transparent, precise data on the state of the country’s internet landscape—empowering researchers, the tech community, and decision-makers with actionable, evidence-based insights.
