Transformation Journey

Ihya Libya Vision 2030 will be implemented in two successive phases. The first phase covering 2022–2025 will focus on stabilization and reconstruction through national and local dialogue and reconciliation in parallel with pursuing priority economic, human development, and public sector reforms.

About Us / Transformation Journey

Addressing Key Constraints to Progress

The second phase covering 2026-2030 will focus on sustainable growth by developing a consistent approach to managing ongoing conflicts, private sector development, investing in large-scale infrastructure programs, and structural reforms to ensure an accountable, merit based, performance-oriented public sector.

Transformation projects, which are large-scale initiatives intended to catalyze transformative change, support the operationalization of Ihya Libya Vision 2030. These projects will be pursued in a phased approach to fundamentally transform the country by 2030. While previous government efforts provide a base to build on, transformation projects will go further by specifically focusing on key constraints that need to be overcome for a stable, democratic, prosperous Libya. Based on our nation building experience so far, critical lessons have been learned, and there are ongoing government initiatives which deserve continued support. However, transformation projects are aimed at activating a paradigm shift from stabilization and reconstruction to recovery and growth.

Ihya Libya Vision 2030 defines broad outcomes for the country as a whole which provide a framework for national strategies and implementation plans. In collaboration with key stakeholders, detailed strategic and operational plans for 2022-2025 articulating specific goals, strategies, and performance targets will be developed. At an appropriate stage, another plan covering 2026-2030 will be produced.
