What do you view as the most significant challenges to the efforts of the Government of National Accord (GNA) to build capable and sustainable security institutions? The most significant challenges to the GNA building capable and sustainable security institutions are divided Libyan security organizations, over reliance on paramilitary militias, and uneven distribution of economic resources. The GNA is challenged to unify a deeply divided country, with fractured key government and military institutions. These weak institutions have compounded the degraded security situation, allowing paramilitary militia to fill the resulting security vacuum. While not a significant challenge to building security institutions, the lack of accountable governance in Libya allows for grievances among civilians to fester due to lack of government services which increases risks to long-term stability. In what ways can the United States be most effective in assisting the GNA to build capable and sustainable security institutions? The United States will be most effective in assisting the internationally recognized Libyan government to build security institutions through a whole of government approach to ensure political, economic, and security development is synchronized so security institution development does not outpace development of the government’s ability to direct, manage, and fund those institutions. Reconstitution of the Libyan security apparatus will require significant resourcing and development of institutions at all levels, from national down to local. The U.S. can contribute as part of a coordinated international effort based on Libyan requests for assistance and U.S. policy. General Stephen J. Townsend February 2019
