Open Government Scan of Lebanon
More and more countries have begun to introduce open government reforms as a catalyst
for attaining broader policy goals such as improving democracy, fostering inclusive
growth, and increasing trust. Following this trend, successive Lebanese governments
have taken various steps to implement reforms based on the open government principles
and aligned with the OECD Recommendation on Open Government. This Scan aims to support
the government’s efforts to build more transparent, participatory, and accountable
institutions that can restore citizens’ trust and promote inclusive growth. It is
based on a survey, a peer review mission and in depth interviews at both the central
level and in the municipalities of Jbeil (Byblos) and Schweir. The Scan analyzes priority
areas of reform and provides actionable recommendations to further embed the principles
and practices of open government within policy-making cycles and to evaluate their
impacts.
