Background

UNDP launched the Anti-Corruption for Trust in Lebanon Project in March 2019 to support key anti-corruption stakeholders in Lebanon to maintain the momentum for national dialogue and capacity development to implement the country’s first-ever national anti-corruption strategy 2020 - 2025 that was formally adopted in May 2020.
The Project focuses on the achievement of four outputs:
Output1: Capacity to oversee and monitor national anti-corruption strategy institutionalized and supported.
Output2: Specialized anti-corruption legislations enacted and supported for effective implementation.
Output 3: National Anti-Corruption Institution operationalized and strengthened.
Output 4: Corruption risk management mechanisms integrated in key vulnerable sectors.

towards achieving the Sustainable Development goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 16.
Lebanon has become a State Party of the UN Convention against Corruption in 2009 and has endorsed
the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs on September 2015. Additionally, at the
national level, Lebanon has taken an important step by endorsing the National Anti-Corruption Strategy

Parliament passed the Access to Information Law (Feb. 2017), the Public Private Partnership Law (Sept

Law (Oct. 2018), in addition to the Illicit Enrichment Law (September, 2020)

such as adoption of key legislation part of the anti-corruption basket of laws.
