Accountant

The Lebanese Transparency Association - No Corruption (LTA) was established in 1999 with the aim of reducing rampant corruption in Lebanon, promoting the principles of transparency and accountability, establishing the rule of law and respecting the fundamental rights inaugurated in international laws and the Lebanese Constitution, by focusing on systematic improvement, building alliances, and encouraging civil society organizations to take measures towards transparency and accountability. LTA later became the national chapter of Transparency International (TI).

LTA has worked to enhance transparency in the public and private sectors in Lebanon for more than a decade, by implementing a number of projects that ranged from contributing to the development to lobbying the anti-corruption laws (such as the draft law on the Right to Access to Information, the Whistleblowers Protection Law, the Asset and Interest Declaration and the Punishment of Illicit Enrichment Law etc....), and the monitoring of parliamentary and municipal elections since 2009, in addition to other projects aimed at empowering youth and municipalities on issues related to good governance …

LTA was chosen as a member of the first Independent Oversight Board (IOB) for the Reform, Recovery and Reconstruction Framework (3RF), which was launched in response to the aftermath of the Beirut Port explosion.

In order to respond to the endemic corruption that Lebanon suffers from, LTA established the Lebanese Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre (LALAC), a model developed by Transparency International and implemented in nearly 60 countries around the world, and adapted to the Lebanese context where witnesses of corruption can report corruption cases and getting free and confidential legal advice.

After several years of LALAC operations, reported hundreds of corruption cases, LTA intends to revamp LALAC scope of operations in order to maximize the effectiveness of its anti-corruption reporting, as well as to ensure transparency in the management of the aid incoming to implement reforms, relief and reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of the Beirut Blast on August 4^th 2020.
