Decision No. 96 of 2023: Formation of Preparatory Committee for Civil Society Forum

The Prime Minister established a seven-member preparatory committee chaired by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs to organize a Civil Society Forum titled 'Engine of Social Peace and Guarantor of Peace' scheduled for March 7-11, 2023. The committee includes representatives from the Cabinet Office, Civil Society Commission, African Affairs Office, and relevant ministry departments.

This decision has minimal direct business implications. It reflects the Government of National Unity's effort to engage civil society organizations, potentially signaling openness to stakeholder consultation processes. Foreign companies operating in Libya may benefit indirectly if enhanced civil society engagement leads to improved governance frameworks or social stability, but this is a long-term, uncertain prospect. The immediate relevance is limited to entities directly engaged with Libyan civil society organizations or those monitoring political reconciliation efforts.
