As part of efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector and enhance food security in southern Libya, the Agricultural Projects Department of the National Development Authority conducted a field visit to several strategic projects in Wadi Ittaba Municipality.

The visit included the Tasaoua Agricultural Project, the Bargouj Agricultural Project, and the Maknousa Agricultural Project, led by the department director and a team of engineers and administrators.

The aim of the visit was to assess the readiness of the projects for the upcoming agricultural season, particularly in relation to seed planting and fruit tree cultivation, as part of a broader plan to boost agricultural production and make better use of fertile land.

Officials said the initiative reflects a wider vision focused on investing in local resources, supporting the national economy, creating job opportunities, empowering local communities, and promoting sustainable development in southern regions of Libya.

The city of Sabha is witnessing steady progress in the implementation of the Al-Shaoush Ghribal International Stadium project, carried out by the National Development Authority, a key development institution under the Eastern Region Government.

Construction works are advancing at an increasing pace and are now moving into more developed phases. As part of the progress, two tower cranes measuring 44 and 52 meters have been installed, marking a significant milestone in the project’s execution.

All 306 foundations have been completed, while backfilling works and retaining wall construction are currently underway.

The project has reached around 24% completion, reflecting steady advancement toward delivering a major sports landmark in southern Libya.

The Eastern Region Government is overseeing a transformation of Sabha International Airport, bringing long-overdue development to one of Libya’s most neglected areas.

Sabha is located in Libya’s southern region , a vast territory that serves as the country’s primary source of oil, gas, water, and natural minerals. Despite its enormous wealth, the south has been severely and consistently marginalized by every previous government, including that of Muammar Gaddafi, receiving little in return for the resources it provided to the rest of the nation.

That reality is now changing. Under the current leadership of the Eastern Region Government, the south is finally being developed from the ground up , with Sabha International Airport standing as one of the most visible symbols of that transformation.The project is classified among the strategic projects being implemented by the National Development Agency (NDA) in the southern region.

Its transformation is not limited to the terminal building. The Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund, led by Belgassem Khalifa Haftar , signed strategic contracts with Turkish company Albavvaba Hizmetleri Ltd Sirketi for the installation and development of air navigation and ground communication systems at seven Eastern-region-controlled airports, including Sabha, alongside Benghazi, Sirte, Ubari, Al-Abraq, Martouba, and Tobruk.

The move was described as a qualitative step toward modernising the entire Libyan aviation sector. The results are already tangible. Sabha International Airport resumed international flights after more than a decade of inactivity, with the first flight, operated by Berniq Airways, departing for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Libya’s Deputy Prime Minister Salem Maatouq Al-Zadma credited this milestone to the sustained efforts of the Libyan Armed Forces’ General Command and their commitment to reactivating the airport in service of southern residents.

The new terminal spans 7,000 square meters per floor, with a focus on modernising Libya’s transportation infrastructure while promoting regional development , designed to enhance passenger flow and support growing travel demands in the city

BENGHHAZI – A Spanish economic delegation, led by Ms. Maria Femunoz, Commercial and Economic Attaché at the Spanish Embassy in Libya, visited several development and reconstruction projects in Benghazi.

They were briefed on completed and ongoing works being carried out by the Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund across several vital sectors.

The visit reflects efforts to strengthen economic and development cooperation between Libya and Spain and support the ongoing reconstruction process in Libya.
