LTA is the National Chapter of Transparency International (TI) in Lebanon. Realizing the unacceptable levels of corruption reached in Lebanon and the need to act against it, a group of academics, lawyers, intellectuals, economists, and businesspersons joined forces to establish LTA in May 1999 in a bid to curb corruption through civil society.
The organization resorts to all appropriate means to fight corruption, , raise public awareness, improve the quality of life, and encourage civil society to take measures towards transparency and accountability.
