Joint Press Release by the LIECHTENSTEIN
FOUNDATION FOR STATE GOVERNANCE and the LIBYAN INSTITUTE FOR STRATEGIC MATTERS
on a comprehensive initiative to develop next-generation leaders for Libya and
provide them with the support and the tools to rebuild the constitutional,
legal, economic, and political framework of a new Libya
The Liechtenstein Foundation for State Governance
(LFSG), under the Chairmanship of H.S.H. Hereditary Prince Alois of
Liechtenstein, and the Libyan Institute for Strategic Matters (LISM), under the
Chairmanship of Mr. Riad Grada, are announcing a joint initiative to identify,
train, and support next-generation professionals as well as social and
political leaders, and to provide them with the requisite tools to make
impactful and sustainable
contributions towards the reconciliation of a fragmented country and the
rebuilding of a unified Libya.
The fundamental premise of such
rebuilding efforts is that it requires all the significant political, economic,
social, and military challenges facing the country to be addressed. The only
chance for Libya to overcome its continuous state of crisis and accomplish
national reconciliation and rebuilding lies in the simultaneous tackling of
each challenge based on a methodology that starts with the identification of a
local group of individuals with a broad range of political, geographical, and
tribal affiliations.
The initiative will focus on all key areas of state governance and
social inclusion, including a rotation-based executive government with
enforceable code of conduct standards, political and financial literacy and
inclusion efforts, the establishment of an independent judiciary, the hosting
of a meaningful constitutional dialog among all Libyan stakeholders, healthy
and accessible financial and capital markets with the requisite supervisory
institutions, the retention of Libyan professionals and reversal of a brain
drain, the acceptance
and effective use of e-government instruments, as well as other areas that are
critical to the national rebuilding and reconciliation.
Several of the knowledge and implementation
tools, which form the basis of this joint initiative, will be transferred to
the expanded LISM team by LFSG staffers in extensive training programs and through
LFSG’s proprietary knowledge platform. The platform modules are based on global
best practices and contain the requisite adaptation parameters for the
political, economic, social and cultural realities in Libya. The LISM team will
consist of carefully identified and tested next-generation Libyan professionals and future decision makers, including legislators,
government and executive agency officials, judges, lawyers, economists, financial
and capital markets professionals, auditors and accountants, as well as
journalists and other members of the media.
