Gherbal Initiative was established in January 2018, after the Right for Access to Information Law entered into force, to monitor the compliance of Lebanese public administrations with the implementation of the said law. 

Gherbal Initiative started its vision 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.
