Since 2011 and following the Arab Spring, Libya has been facing political instability and economic hardships. In this context, establishing the E-nable project is crucial to support Libyan institutions and the private sector in economic governance and digital transformation.
This project builds upon the expertise acquired by Expertise France in Libya over the past several years, as well as the World Bank's analyses and OECD studies, to support the transition towards digitalization, to foster a competitive private sector, and to support the foundation of a dynamic and diversified economy.
The European Union entrusts Expertise France with the implementation of this three-year, €5m funded project, with the aim of complementing, supporting, and deepening the work carried out by the EU4PSL and RAQAM-E projects.
