The Steering Committee Meeting of the BINA Program was held virtually on 23 July 2020 to follow up on the progress made and the future actions with respect to the implementation of the Program in light of the ongoing challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic as well the understandable escalating difficulties of implementing activities in Libya under the current conditions. The Meeting was attended by the Steering Committee Meeting members from the partnering institutions; SESRIC, the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and Libyan Program for Reintegration and Development (LPRD), in which the remaining activities to be implemented were thoroughly discussed and approved as well as the disbursement status. In addition the steering committee members addressed the exit strategy of the program in order to assure sustainability of the services currently provided by the program.

The BINA Program as an initiative is carried out in partnership between SESRIC, IsDB and LPRD to support Libya, as a conflict-affected state, in the areas of research, capacity building and economic development where SESRIC assumes the role of the executing agency of the Program.
