In January 2018, Gherbal Initiative launched its efforts to bridge the gap between Lebanese citizens and administrations, pushing the latter to adopt measures that guarantee access to information and transparency. Gherbal aims to transform the Lebanese political rhetoric from being biased, sectarian and dependent on clientelism, to a candid and patriotic dialogue that relies on facts and numbers. Gherbal believes that the democratization of information can act as an antidote to corruption.
