Nearly a year after the end of Syria’s civil war and the fall of the Assad dictatorship, the country has embarked on a long and complex reconstruction process. The destruction is staggering: entire neighborhoods lie in rubble and basic infrastructure (roads, power grids, and water systems) has collapsed, and public institutions are dysfunctional. Millions of Syrians remain displaced inside and outside the country, schools and hospitals are incapacitated, and what remains of the economy is crippled by unemployment, inflation, and the lingering impact of sanctions (even as many have lately been eased). Ongoing sectarian violence and a deepening humanitarian disaster, with more than 14.5 million Syrians facing food insecurity, compound the crisis. As the international community re-engages in Syria, reconstruction will require many hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and investment as well as assistance to restore governance, security, and stability.

The two MPs, Ali Fayyad and Ali Hassan Al Khalil, called for reform of the political system and full implementation of all the stipulations of the Taif Accord of 1989 – the agreement that ended Lebanon’s civil war and sought to update its confessional political model.

The Lebanese Association for Taxpayers' Rights (ALDIC) has submitted its 2023 report on public financial management in Lebanon to all members of Parliament. This report, produced in collaboration with the "Konrad Adenauer Stiftung" Foundation and "The Policy Initiative" Association under the BINA’ program funded by the European Union and managed by Transparency International (TI-LB), highlights the urgent need for transparent and efficient management of public funds in Lebanon, particularly amidst the current crisis.
In personalized letters accompanying the report, ALDIC emphasized the importance of sound public financial management in achieving economic and social stability, distributing resources effectively, and promoting sustainable growth. ALDIC underscored the necessity for effective oversight, accountability, and transparency in managing public finances to address Lebanon's ongoing challenges.
ALDIC has initiated communication with parliamentarians, both individually and through their parliamentary blocs, to review the report and consider its recommendations. This outreach will be followed by ongoing discussions and meetings to explore potential solutions and legislative actions to improve public fund management.
Previously, ALDIC engaged with representatives from the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb parliamentary blocs, as well as private sector entities and organizations. These engagements will continue with other parliamentary blocs and committees, alongside efforts to engage with the Lebanese public through media channels.
Established in 2012, ALDIC is dedicated to promoting ethical tax practices, citizenship, and awareness of taxation rights and obligations. It serves as an observatory for detecting and addressing violations in taxation and public finance, advocating for enhanced oversight and good governance. ALDIC operates independently and non-politically, striving to support the rights of all taxpayers and foster citizen participation in public fund management.
