The United Nations has praised Libya’s Administrative Control Authority (ACA) for its latest annual report, highlighting its efforts to improve financial and administrative oversight.
Deputy UN Envoy Stephanie Koury met with ACA Chairman Abdullah Qadurbuh on Tuesday to discuss the report and explore opportunities for international support in tackling corruption and enhancing governance.
Koury described the 2023 report as a key achievement, emphasizing its role in assessing state administration and financial management. The meeting also covered Libya’s 2025-2030 National Anti-Corruption Strategy, which was approved in December 2024 and aims to improve regulatory efficiency and transparency across all sectors.
The talks come amid growing debate over Qadurbuh’s recent freeze on public sector hiring and contracts, citing ACA findings that Libya’s public workforce has surpassed 2 million employees, with a wage bill of nearly 373 billion dinars.
Koury reaffirmed the UN’s commitment to supporting Libya’s transition, stressing the need for international cooperation to strengthen institutions and promote stability.
