RABAT, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Nov, 2019 ):Libya is preparing to launch a comprehensive reconstruction program with the support of several international organizations including the World Bank, said Libyan Minister of Planning Taher Al-Juhaimi on Tuesday.
Speaking at the first Libyan investment economic forum held in Morocco's capital Rabat, Al-Juhaimi said the Libyan government is reviewing its five-year development plan by redefining the priorities of some 4,000 projects worth around 100 billion U.S. dollars.
Priority will be given to projects for reconstruction and modernization, including projects in sectors of education, health, housing, basic services and infrastructure, he added.
