BACKGROUNDLebanon stands at a pivotal juncture in its governance and reform trajectory. Despite years of overlapping crises, the country has made landmark progress in building an integrity and anti-corruption framework, including the adoption and (partial) implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (2020–2025), the establishment of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), and major legislative reforms on access to information, illicit enrichment, whistleblower protection, asset declaration, and public procurement. These milestones have laid the groundwork for the most coherent accountability architecture in Lebanon’s recent history.
However, these achievements remain fragile amid deep economic collapse, weakened institutions, and eroded public trust. While the strategic and legal frameworks are largely in place, implementation and enforcement mechanisms remain underdeveloped, and coordination among oversight institutions is still limited. The evaluation of the NACS highlighted the urgent need to consolidate progress by operationalizing national mechanisms, strengthening institutional capacities, and embedding corruption-risk management practices across public institutions.
In This Context, The Integrity In ACTion Project Is Founded With The Objective Of Improving The Implementation Of An Institutionalised And Targeted Approach To Prevent And Combat Corruption Through Improved Coordination, Operationalized Oversight, Enhanced Preventive And Enforcement Mechanisms, And Institutionalized Integrity And Risk-management Practices, Thereby Advancing Transparency, Accountability, And Public Trust. The Project Is Designed To Achieve This Objective By Working On Three Outputs
Output 1: Institutional capacities to coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the National Anti-Corruption Strategy strengthened and operationalized through participatory and inclusive mechanisms
Output 2: Legal frameworks and oversight institutions for preventing and combating corruption strengthened and effectively operationalized.
Output 3: Sectoral Corruption Risk Management mechanisms and integrity systems strengthened across key public sectors.
The Office of the Minister of State for Administrative Reform (OMSAR) plays a central role in advancing public sector reform and supporting national efforts to strengthen transparency, integrity, and accountability across public institutions. In this context, OMSAR is leading and coordinating the development of the new National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2027-2032, in close collaboration with relevant national stakeholders and with technical support from UNDP. In parallel, OMSAR launched the Reinventing Government 2030 program, which aims to reshape Lebanon’s public administration, enhance institutional effectiveness, and restore citizen trust by redefining public administration around the principles of efficiency, inclusiveness, accountability, and citizen-centered service delivery.
UNDP has been providing technical and advisory support to OMSAR to strengthen its institutional and operational capacity to coordinate and follow up on the implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2020-2025, support the development of the new strategy, and contribute to broader government reform efforts, including the Reinventing Government 2030 program. This support includes facilitating consultations and coordination with public institutions and partners; providing technical, policy, and legal inputs; supporting research, documentation, monitoring, reporting, CSOs engagement, and stakeholder outreach; and contributing to the overall management and follow-up of reform-related activities.
Based on OMSAR’s needs and priorities, UNDP is seeking to contract a Technical Assistant to provide technical support to OMSAR’s websites and digital platforms and to strengthen the transparency of information, through three complementary workstreams; the technical development and maintenance of the Matchmaking portal, the technical support, maintenance, and updating of the OMSAR website, and the mapping of public services to make information clear, complete, and openly available.
