Reconstitution of Board of Directors for Urban and Rural Development Authority

The Council of Ministers reconstituted the board of directors of the Urban and Rural Areas Development and Reconstruction Authority with six members, naming Eng. Mohamed Yousef Al-Zaidani as Chairman. The decision took immediate effect from 28 March 2022, superseding prior board compositions.

This board reconstitution affects contractors, developers, and investors engaged in urban development, infrastructure, and reconstruction projects in Libya. The Authority—formerly the Executive Authority for the Development of Oil Areas and Projects—controls significant development mandates and project approvals. New board composition may signal policy direction shifts or create relationship-building opportunities, though operational continuity risks exist during transition. Foreign entities with pending approvals or existing contracts should re-establish contacts with the new leadership.
