The round table was organized by UN-Habitat and the Global Land Tool Network under the umbrella of the BMZ-funded “Arab Region Programme on Good Land Governance in Support to Inclusive Development, Peace and Stability” on the 29-30 June in Tunis, Tunisia.
The event gathered Libyan representatives from different departments of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Housing and Construction, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Planning, the Ministry of Local Government, the UN, INGOs and civil society organizations.
