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.
