As part of ongoing efforts to advance sustainable water solutions within Libya, a high-level meeting was held between Nabil Alghadamsi, Chief Executive Officer of Toucan Global, and Fadel Bou Argoub, Mayor of Tripoli.

The meeting focused on presenting the activities of DesertGreener and introducing its seawater desalination project, which is based on advanced solar-powered technology designed to address water scarcity challenges.

Particular emphasis was placed on the project’s investment structure. The proposed model is based on direct investment by DesertGreener in the installation and deployment of the desalination infrastructure. This approach is designed to ensure that implementation would not impose financial burdens or capital expenditure requirements on Libyan public institutions, while still enabling access to critical water infrastructure.

During the discussions, the strategic importance of the project was highlighted, particularly in relation to strengthening national water security and supporting long-term infrastructure resilience. The relevance of such initiatives for urban centers, including Tripoli, was emphasized given increasing demand and pressure on existing water resources.

The Mayor of Tripoli expressed a positive reception to the proposed initiative, recognizing its potential significance for both the city and the country as a whole. The discussions reflected a shared understanding of the importance of developing sustainable and scalable solutions to address water-related challenges.

In this context, the Mayor invited further engagement between the relevant parties, encouraging the continuation of discussions through additional meetings aimed at exploring the practical and institutional pathways required to facilitate the implementation of the project in Libya.
