Given the current economic and employment needs in Libya, the establishment of the E-nable and EU4SKILLS projects is crucial. These projects aim to support Libyan institutions and the private sector in economic governance, digital transformation, and enhancing employability and skills transferability.
The E-nable project draws on Expertise France's experience in Libya and integrates insights from World Bank analyses and OECD studies to facilitate the transition to digitalization, fostering a dynamic, diversified economy and a competitive private sector.
The primary goal of the EU4SKILLS project is to strengthen the capacity of key economic institutions, fostering a digitally driven and sustainable economic recovery. It seeks to institutionalize growth that benefits the private sector, through collaborative efforts between private and public entities, addressing critical issues such as education-labor market mismatch, underutilization of digital technology, and the nascent state of green and blue economies in Libya.
Both projects are funded by the European Union and implemented by Expertise France. They aim to complement and deepen the work of previous and ongoing projects, such as EU4PSL and RAQAM-E, with the overall objective of enhancing the capacities of key economic institutions for sustainable, diversified, and digital economic recovery, institutionalizing private sector growth, improving employability, governance, skills transferability, and SME financial inclusion.
E-nable comprises three main components closely linked in terms of objectives and activities: strengthening the capacities of the Ministry of Economy and Trade and related stakeholders in designing public policies for economic diversification (C1), leveraging digital innovations for inclusive and sustainable development (C2), and facilitating financial institutions to extend credit to the private sector and provide financial solutions to SMEs (C3). EU4SKILLS consists of four main components, also interconnected in terms of objectives and activities: enhancing employability governance within the Libyan educational system (C1), supporting employability and business opportunities through digital transformation (C2), reinforcing skills and employability in green and blue economies for both public and private sectors (C3), and strengthening the financial sector's capacities to improve SME financial
