The program’s two major pillars are (1) Accelerating Economic Recovery and (2) Restoring Basic Service Delivery. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) continues to support the country’s private sector through its investment and advisory services. The World Bank, in collaboration with other donors, is working on gathering diverse Libyan stakeholders to establish reforms and find ways to engage and assist the restoration of fundamental institutions.
