BACKGROUND Lebanon 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. This includes the adoption and partial implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy , the establishment of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), and major legislative reforms concerning 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 a 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 remains limited. The evaluation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy 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 was established with the objective of improving the implementation of an institutionalized and targeted approach to preventing and combating corruption. This will be achieved 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 through the following three outputs: Output 1: Institutional capacities to coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the National Anti-Corruption Strategy are strengthened and operationalized through participatory and inclusive mechanisms. Output 2: Legal frameworks and oversight institutions for preventing and combating corruption are strengthened and effectively operationalized. Output 3: Sectoral Corruption Risk Management mechanisms and integrity systems are strengthened across key public sectors. Building on the progress achieved by the Integrity in ACTion Project across all outputs, UNDP is seeking to contract a Stakeholders Content Development and Management Consultant. The Consultant will support the planning and implementation of communication and visibility activities for the National Anti-Corruption Strategy , the National Anti-Corruption Commission, and Sectoral Corruption Risk Management initiatives.
