The Need for Libya Vision 2020Though some progress has been made on consolidating peace andsecurity since the 17th of February Revolution, absence of effectivepolicies, legal and institutional frameworks, and lack of ownershipand accountability at different levels of leadership has compromisednational aspirations. While the driving force behind our nationbuilding experience so far has been our collective ambition forsocio-economic and democratic transformation, Libya can dobetter. We could achieve much more if we shared a well-definedvision to steer our collective efforts. There is a pressing need tointegrate our development policies and strive harder for our country’sfuture. Libya Vision 2020 is a call to action for all Libyans to rallybehind placing the country on a sustainable development path.In formulating a vision for Libya, we cannot dwell on lostopportunities and what we lack. We must adopt a forward-lookingapproach that critically reviews our institutions, policies, andexisting plans with confidence in our ability to learn from thepast and change. We have a rich history rooted in Islamic, Arab,and African values that has been shaped by a tradition of positiveengagement with other cultures and countries. Libya is not startinga nation from scratch but rediscovering its rich cultural and societalvalues that formed its foundation in the past. It is upon theseexisting foundations that Libya Vision 2020 was developed.Because little attention was paid to long term planning since1969, Libya has had a relatively short experience in developmentplanning. Previous national planning initiatives were developedwith mixed results, have constrained the country’s growthand development, and were poorly implemented. After fourdecades of autocracy, Libyans are demanding better waysforward and deserve a national development vision thataddresses their current and future needs and aspirations.Introduction toLibya Vision 20202 libya vision 2020While peace and security are pre-requisites for Libya’s future, thereis an equally pressing need to address Libya’s economic, humandevelopment, and governance challenges. However, the mostcritical challenge Libya now faces is developing in a participatorymanner, through dialogue and agreement, on a shared visionfor the future. Libya Vision 2020 is a work in progress to beshaped through public and institutional consultation, and weinvite all Libyans to participate in its ongoing development.libya vision 2020 3

How Does Libya Vision 2020Differ from Other Visions?There are several visioning exercises takingplace in Libya now. While all of theseefforts agree on the need to envision futurepossibilities and to advance the necessaryactions to convert possibilities into realities,they diverge in their assumptions regardingthe willingness of Libyans to wait formeaningful and visible progress. LibyaVision 2020 assumes that Libyans are notwilling to wait until 2030 or 2040 for change.Libyans want positive transformation now.Right now, security and the rule of law islacking. Right now, economic performanceis substandard. Right now, institutions thatpromote human development are weak.Right now, poor governance is compromisingthe rapidity and effectiveness of reforms.Libya Vision 2020 advances a frameworkwithin which national strategies andimplementation plans can be developed forcatalytic change by 2020. It is an attempt toformulate a shared national vision to assist inbuilding consensus on where Libya can be insix years. While this is a short time horizonfor change, Libya Vision 2020 reflectsthe nation’s aspirations, determination,and commitment for immediate socioeconomic and democratic transformation.4 libya vision 2020Realizable visions identify potentialopportunities to accelerate developmentand the challenges that must be overcome.For this reason, Libya Vision 2020 seeks toinstill humility, courage, and determinationto rise to challenges at the individual,community, and national levels. By offeringa shared vision focused on immediatechange, Libya Vision 2020 was conceivedto ignite people’s aspirations and serveas a catalyst that allows our country toshift gears towards reconstruction andrecovery as quickly as possible. LibyaVision 2020 serves as a message of hopeand inspiration for motivating individuals,communities, and the nation to worktogether to overcome challenges on thepath to sustainable development.libya vision 2020 5

Libya vision 2020Peace, Security,and Rule of LawPeace, security and the rule of law areprerequisites for sustainable development.Libya will only secure the dividends of the17th of February Revolution by preventingfurther conflict through reconciliation,professionalizing security institutions,ensuring equitable access to justice, andmaintaining law and order throughtransparent and accountable institutionsthat respect human rights and protectfundamental freedoms.EconomicDevelopmentLibya will build a diversified, private sectorled economy that will improve prosperity forLibyans in all regions of the country throughprivate sector development, job creation,economic stabilization, improvement ofcritical infrastructure, and more responsiblemanagement of resource wealth.HumanDevelopmentLibyans will be empowered and theircapacities developed to enable them to reachtheir full potential through access to qualityeducation at all levels, provision of qualitysocial and healthcare services, and sustainableurban development.Peace, Security,and Rule of LawEconomicDevelopmentHumanDevelopmentGovernance andPublic Sector ReformA safe and securenation built onlaw, order, andequitable justiceA prosperous,productive, andinnovative nationA nurturingenvironment for allLibyansAn efficient,transparent, andaccountablegovernmentTransformation projects implemented in each development pillar to turnLibya Vision 2020 into actionFOUNDATIONSBy the year 2020, Libya can be a stable,democratic, and prosperous nation wherecitizens enjoy a high standard of living.However, in order to achieve this, wemust overcome several challenges. LibyaVision 2020 is based on four key areasof progress, or development pillars, andfoundational values to advance a collectivevision for transformative change. The fourdevelopment pillars – Peace, Security, andRule of Law, Economic Development,Human Development, and Governanceand Public Sector Reform – form thefoundation upon which development plansfrom 2014 to 2020 will be built. Libya Vision2020 translates the development pillarsinto a statement of achievable objectivesaccompanied by transformation projects,which are key initiatives that will beimplemented to turn Libya Vision 2020 intoaction. The Vision serves as a framework toguide critical analysis of constraints that needto be overcome and provides a reference forlogical and sequential implementation. Thisapproach differs from ad-hoc approaches thathave been pursued in the past by advancing areform framework that focuses on immediatesteps towards long-term solutions.A stable, democratic, and prosperous Libya where citizens enjoy a high standard of livingpILLARSOvercoming Challenges andCreating Change for a Better Science,Technology,and InnovationHumanResourcesDevelopmentPublic SectorExcellenceGovernance andPublic Sector ReformLibya will build a democratic, transparent,and accountable government at both thenational and municipal levels that will bemanaged by professional and committedpublic servants.SUBMIT YOUR IDEALibya Vision 2020 is an invitation to express your views on matters that affect us all as Libyans to helpshape the future of our country.

libya nowLibya’s TransformationJourneyLibya Vision 2020 will be implementedin two successive phases. The firstphase covering 2014–2016 will focuson stabilization and reconstructionthrough national and local dialogue andreconciliation in parallel with pursuingpriority economic, human development,and public sector reforms. The second phasecovering 2017–2020 will focus on sustainablegrowth by developing a consistent approachto managing ongoing conflicts, privatesector development, investing in large-scaleinfrastructure programs, and structuralreforms to ensure an accountable, meritbased, performance-oriented public sector.Transformation projects are large-scaleinitiatives intended to catalyze change andare included to support the implementationof Libya Vision 2020. These projects arebased on learnings from our nation buildingexperience thus far and will be pursuedin a phased approach to fundamentallytransform the country by 2020. Whileprevious government efforts provide abase to build on and there are ongoinggovernment initiatives that deservecontinued support, transformation projectswill go further by specifically focusing onkey constraints that need to be overcomefor a stable, democratic, and prosperousLibya. Transformation projects are aimed atactivating a paradigm shift from stabilizationand reconstruction to recovery and growth.Libya Vision 2020 defines broad outcomesfor the country as a whole which providea framework for national strategies andimplementation plans. In collaborationwith key stakeholders, detailed strategicand operational plans for 2014–2016articulating specific goals, strategies, andperformance targets will be developed.At an appropriate stage, another plancovering 2017–2020 will be produced.Peace, Security,and Rule of LawEconomicDevelopmentHumanDevelopmentGood Governance andPublic Sector Reform Libyans unable to livetheir lives, earn a living,and raise families inpeace Lack of institutions andtrained personnel Legal frameworksprevent rule of law Armed conflict,assassinations, andattacks on property Government entitiesdominate the economywith low private sectorinvolvement High dependence onthe hydrocarbon sectorresulting in fiscaluncertainty Poor and decayinginfrastructure whichlimits economic growth Education systems notproducing skills requiredby labor market Poor access to qualityhealthcare Poor quality of life dueto haphazard planningat the national and locallevel Limited access toessential public servicesand poor quality serviceprovision Unclear andnontransparentmechanisms for publicspending with arbitrarybudgeting mechanismslibya 2014–2016Stabilization and Reconstruction Vision Security sector reformthat prioritizes thedevelopment andimplementation ofpolicies Fundamental rightsguaranteed by lawand defended by stateinstitutions Link between adherenceto peace and involvementin the body politicestablished Public privatepartnerships establishedin key sectors withpotential for employmentcreation Fiscal policy measuresin place to limit budgetvolatility Key infrastructurerehabilitated and regionaldisparities addressedlibya 2017–2020Recovery and Growth Vision Security forces under aunified command withoversight by civilianauthorities Transparent, accountablejudicial systems thatrespect human rights andfreedoms Mechanisms in place toproactively manage andcontain conflicts8 libya vision 2020 Little progress made towards stabilizing country Disjointed economic, human development, andgovernance reforms Key constraints to privatesector developmentassessed and addressed Framework for governingpublic finances linked todevelopment planning Resource mobilization fornational and municipalinfrastructure projectssecured throughinstitutional financing andcapital markets Pursue stabilization measures alongside economic,human development, and governance reformssupported by transformation projects Key barriers to achievingquality educationaddressed Improved service deliveryin existing healthcarefacilities Enhanced standard ofliving due to expandedcommunity supportmechanisms Local government entitieshave the necessarymandate and tools toprovide essential services Oversight mechanismsfor transparency andaccountability in place Checks and balancesin place to ensuredemocratic processes areprotectedfoundations Continued focus on economic, human development,and governance reforms for recovery and growth byscaling transformation projects Labor market needslinked to educationsystem Healthcare system moreresponsive to local needsand universal insurancein place Prosperous communitiesthat are in harmony withthe natural environmentand supportive of themost vulnerable Customer orientedservice delivery at thenational and municipallevels An accountable, meritbased, performanceoriented public sector Expanded involvement ofcitizens, civil society, andindependent media in thedemocratic processlibya vision 2020 9

How Libya Vision 2020Was DevelopedLibya Vision 2020 was developed by aworking group of Libyan citizens who servedLibya in different capacities during the 17thof February Revolution and continue to beengaged in defining the nation’s future. Thegroup includes previous members of theLibya Stabilization Team, which was taskedwith preparing a comprehensive stabilizationplan for Libya after its liberation, as wellas experts in several fields of importanceto Libya’s development including security,economics, finance, education, social policy,healthcare, and public sector management.Libya Vision 2020 is based on extensiveconsultations involving the participationof civil society organizations, communityleaders, business leaders, entrepreneurs,academics, students, professional groups,women and youth associations, and media.Consultative forums were held in urbanand rural centers throughout Libya andwith the Libyan diaspora abroad. Theobjective of these consultations was to gainnational consensus on the key challengesthat impede Libya’s progress and potentialstrategies to create a better future by 2020.Proposed transformation projects, whichhave the potential to resolve key security,economic, human development, andgovernance challenges, were incubated in asimilar consultative process. Transformationprojects present workable solutions tothe problems Libyans face today based10 libya vision 2020on consensus from national consultationsand the experience of countries whichhave undergone similar transformations.Unlike previous development planningattempts, Libya Vision 2020 is ownedby Libyans and its implementation willbe stewarded by them. The participatorymanner in which Libya Vision 2020 wasdeveloped will also be emphasized in itsimplementation. Since Libya Vision 2020 isa work in progress, an online citizen portal,called the Libya Vision Citizen Portal, hasbeen developed to give all Libyans a wayto engage with each other on the issuesthat matter to them. The Libya Vision2020 Citizen Portal provides a way topetition leaders to take action on a rangeof important issues facing our country bysuggesting transformation projects andcommenting on progress towards our 2020goals. If a proposed transformation projectreceives enough support or citizen commentsrecommend a different course, we willreview citizen feedback and issue an officialletter to the government requesting action.We invite all Libyans to play a part in thisongoing dialogue to bring transformativechange to Libya. In this way, Libya’s futurewill be owned and sustained by its people.libya vision 2020 11

Rediscovering Our RichCultural and Societal ValuesSince the 17th of February Revolution, Libyans have witnessedseveral poorly implemented reform plans. This has led Libyans to beskeptical of the government’s ability to lead transformative change.Yet, our country’s history is replete with examples of triumph overadversity and our ability to embrace profound change. In confrontingsignificant challenges and change in the past, our cultural fortitudeand societal values have always been a sources of strength andguidance to inform difficult choices. Our cultural and societal valuesare still valid as guiding foundations today and must be rediscoveredto confront present challenges and embrace change once again. Ourlong-held cultural and societal values discussed below serve as guidingfoundations for the four development pillars of Libya Vision 2020and are crucial to the implementation of all programs.RootednessThe Foundationsfor Libya Vision 202012 libya vision 2020Libya Vision 2020 envisions an environment in which all Libyanspositively contribute to national development. Our nation willprosper through the development and empowerment of all citizens.However, Libya cannot evolve until we have a united and inclusivenation where individuals and communities have a sense of commonand shared identity and destiny. Libya must become a nation thatis aware and proud of its rich spiritual, cultural, and social heritage.This awareness and appreciation of our history and the transmissionof our values to future generations forms the foundation for anintegrated, peaceful society with loyalty and dedication to the futureof our nation. A renewed sense of Libyan identity will create aconfident society which is proud of its achievements and resilient towhatever challenges the future may hold.libya vision 2020 13

Our long-held cultural and societalvalues serve as guiding foundationsfor the four development pillars ofLibya Vision 2020OpennessWhile Libya has suffered from fourdecades of self-imposed isolation due toa confrontational foreign policy agenda,rebuilding cooperative relationships withregional and international partners isrequired to realize the accelerated reformsoutlined in Libya Vision 2020. We have along tradition of engagement with othercountries and cultures, and we should drawon that rich history. Recalling our cultureof openness, Libya can develop by adoptinginternational good practices while havingthe courage to discard out-of-date attitudesthat deter progress and undermine nationalunity and strength. Globalization createsunprecedented opportunities for progressand prosperity which transcend Libya’sboundaries and can only be accessed throughstrong trade and investment relationships.International and intercultural dialogue canalso help us galvanize action that preventsisolationism and extremism. Libya will playa constructive role within the frameworksof the Arab League, Organization of IslamicConference, African Union, and the UnitedNat
