Funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented in partnership with Transparency International Secretariat (TI-S), Transparency International Lebanon (TI-LB), and the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies (LCPS), the BINA’ (Building Integrity and National Accountability in Lebanon) project aims to strengthen the role of civil society organisations as key actors in promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance in Lebanon. The project supports civil society in monitoring and advocating for reforms under the Reform, Recovery and Reconstruction Framework (3RF) and in advancing community-led initiatives that address local governance challenges. BINA’ does not only fund civil society organisations (CSOs). It partners with them. Through a combination of capacity building, technical support, and joint advocacy, the project equips organisations with the tools they need to strengthen internal governance, communications, advocacy strategies, and monitoring and evaluation systems. These partnerships help CSOs engage more effectively in policy dialogue, contribute to national and local accountability efforts, and respond to Lebanon’s rapidly evolving needs. The sub-granting model is designed with transparency, integrity, and accountability at its core. It combines competitive calls for proposals with a flexible direct-award mechanism, enabling the project to maintain support for civil society actors even during periods of crisis and disruption. Across four calls, the portfolio delivered 30 sub-grants involving 27 CSOs and allocating a total of USD 1,225,000. Actions ranged from national-level reform advocacy to community monitoring, municipal transparency, environmental governance, inclusive emergency planning, and accountability in crisis response. The sub-granting mechanism was developed as a coherent support framework that combined funding, capacity building, and structured engagement to strengthen civil society’s role in Lebanon’s governance landscape. Rather than operating as isolated calls, the portfolio functioned as an integrated model that supported reform advocacy at the national level, strengthened accountability at the local level, and expanded opportunities for civic participation. This approach enabled BINA’ to respond to evolving governance challenges while maintaining continuity, coherence, and a clear trajectory across all four calls.

On the International Day for the Right to Access Information, we emphasize the importance of proactive disclosure and the need for public institutions to respond to information requests submitted by individuals and organizations.

Through a concise, hard‑hitting video spot, the campaign humanizes the real‑world costs of corruption and issues a clear challenge to decision‑makers: Lebanese society demands integrity, transparency, and accountability across all public institutions. Join us in standing against corruption to build a stronger, more equitable Lebanon.
