The €5M E-NABLE project will be implemented by Expertise France
TRIPOLI, Libya: “E-NABLE”, a new project funded by the European Union, will support key Libyan economic institutions in introducing digital economic governance tools and improving digital services for businesses. The three-year project (2022 – 2025) aims at promoting an investment-friendly and conducive business environment, strengthening the Libyan private sector and thus contributing to economic growth in Libya.
“The launch of the E-NABLE project is a necessity to support Libyan institutions to keep pace with the digital transformation happening in the world. Digitization is the future because it supports the creation of a dynamic economy and contributes to supporting a new competitive private sector with good governance.” said Mr. Mohamed Al–Huwaij, Minister of Economy and Trade in Libya.
“Economic governance going digital is key for Libya’s private sector to develop and the economy to grow. E-governance makes government services quicker and more efficient, so businesses and entrepreneurs can focus on their core tasks: business and innovation.” said EU Ambassador Jose Sabadell at the launch of E-NABLE in Tripoli today. “Digitalisation and adapting governance systems to our digitalised world are key priorities for the European Union. We heavily invest in this area in Europe, and cooperate with partners around the world to bring the digital transformation forward – also in Libya.”
