Charting a Path to Security Sector Integration for Libya: An Incremental Approach

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This IFIT publication is co-authored by Mariam Alsoudi and Misbah Omar. Building on IFIT’s work on incremental agreements in Libya, this paper applies the approach to the country’s most urgent challenge: integrating its fragmented security sector. It sets out a phased roadmap that begins with local confidence-building and gradually evolves toward national coordination and reform. By focusing on practical, trust-building measures rather than sweeping solutions, the paper highlights how small but cumulative steps can reduce fragmentation, foster accountability, and create visible improvements in security and governance. In doing so, it demonstrates how an incremental path can shift incentives, reinforce sovereignty, and lay a more durable foundation for Libya’s broader political transition.
