The Libyan government appointed by the parliament has decided to establish a crisis committee for the southern region. This committee will be responsible for addressing the urgent needs of municipalities, providing public services, and resolving bottlenecks. The government has allocated 100 million dinars to support these efforts. The decision was made to ensure that essential services are provided and that the region's challenges are addressed effectively.
The crisis committee will comprise a subcommittee in each municipality in the southern region. Each subcommittee will be led by the municipality's mayor and will include representatives from public sectors and service authorities. These subcommittees will identify and prioritize the needs and challenges faced by each municipality and its various sectors. They will then forward these needs to the crisis committee for further action.
The subcommittees will play a crucial role in determining the requirements of each municipality. They will categorize these needs based on priority and urgency. The crisis committee will then take necessary actions to address these needs. The committee will also be responsible for managing the allocated funds to ensure that they are used effectively in addressing the region's challenges.
The Libyan government has authorized the Ministry of Planning and Finance to allocate and disburse the 100 million dinars. These funds will be used to support public services and address the needs of municipalities in the southern region. The crisis committee will have the authority to open a bank account, which will be managed by the committee's chair and financial controller.
The crisis committee will be headed by the Deputy Prime Minister for the Southern Region. The committee will include several ministers, such as those responsible for local government, education, electricity, renewable energy, and water resources. Additionally, the committee will comprise representatives from various regulatory and executive bodies. The committee's term will expire at the end of 2026.
The decision to form the crisis committee was made through Cabinet Resolution No. 237 of 2026. The committee's primary objective is to address the challenges faced by the southern region. The government has emphasized the importance of providing essential services and addressing the region's needs effectively.
The crisis committee's activities will be concluded by the end of 2026. At that time, the committee will close its bank account, make necessary financial adjustments, and submit a final report on its activities. The government has stressed the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of funds allocated to the crisis committee.
