1.    Entity Background 
About Transparency International - Lebanon (TI-LB):
Transparency International Lebanon (TI-LB) is Lebanon’s leading advocate for transparency, accountability, and good governance. Since 1999, TI-LB has been on the front lines of the fight against corruption, working to strengthen institutional integrity across Lebanon’s public and private sectors. As the national chapter of Transparency International, we believe in more than just envisioning a corruption-free society—we are actively making it happen by driving change, empowering citizens, and holding institutions accountable. 

With a people-centered approach, TI-LB tackles corruption from multiple angles, guided by a robust Impact Matrix that emphasizes three core areas: Policy & Institutional Change, Behavior Change, and Awareness & Outreach. We operate as a guiding thread and conveying channel between international organizations, civil society, and citizens, creating a chain of dialogue and collaboration that promotes a participative approach to anti-corruption efforts. This continuous exchange of information fosters transparency, ensures well-informed communities, and bridges gaps between global standards and local needs. 

To achieve meaningful, lasting change, TI-LB builds robust, long-term partnerships with a network of dedicated national, local, and international organizations working across Lebanon. These partnerships enhance our strategic reach, propelling TI-LB to deliver anti-corruption initiatives that are both globally aligned and locally impactful. By combining international standards with deep community engagement, we ensure that our programs not only meet global benchmarks but are also highly responsive to Lebanon’s unique governance challenges and diverse community needs.

“Building Awareness on Governmental Anti-Corruption efforts and the role of the National Anti-Corruption Commission in the Educational Sector in Lebanon” project brief

Funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the project overall goal is to build awareness on governmental anti-Corruption efforts and the role of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) in Lebanon.
The Project’s key objectives are:
(1)    Increased capacity of youth in vocational training and private universities to fight corruption in the public sector and empowering the role of the NACC.

The project’s target audience is primarily the educational sector, specifically private university students and professors, as well as vocational school students and teachers. 

3.    Scope of Work

TI-LB is seeking a service provider to develop and create a self-paced course with 3 modules in Arabic Language with English sub-titles  for the School of Governance (SoG) website (www.schoolofgovernance.net). 

The self-paced course will cover the following thematic: the progress of the anticorruption legal framework, its implementation, the role of the National anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), the Right to Access to Information Law, and the Whistleblower Protection Law. The three modules are: Module 1 will cover on the Role of the NACC in its anti-corruption efforts; Module 2 will cover the Right to Access to Information Law; and Module 3 will cover the Whistleblower Protection Law in Lebanon. 

The following Modules need to be youth and user-friendly, ensuring engageness with mini-quizes, animation and others.  Each Module will have their respective pre/posts tests  and will constitute up to 3 to 4 videos, ranging from 5 to 10 minutes for each video. The self-paced course will be free of charge for users, and accessible through registering on the online school of governance website.

This approach is crucial since the courses are targeting the youth, making it essential to create a learning experience that is both accessible and enjoyable for a wide audience. 

The objective is to improve the knowledge of the youth in the anticorruption legal framework, its implementation, and the role of the NACC, the Right to Access to Information Law, and the Whistleblower Protection Law.
