Based on the findings and recommendations of the MAPS assessment, Lebanon’s Public Procurement Reform Strategy identified the need to develop a risk management strategy and tools to efficiently identify and mitigate procurement risks as one of the Government’s short-term priority actions. 

This policy brief, developed by the organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), in co-operation with the Institut des Finances Basil Fuleihan (IoF), with support from the Islamic Development Bank, aims at supporting Lebanon in developing a tailored public procurement risk management strategy based on its national context and international good practices. 

It highlights the relevance of a risk management approach in public procurement and provides the country with practical steps to develop a public procurement risk management strategy, in accordance with the principles of the 2015 OECD Recommendation on Public Procurement.
