Maharat enlisted the Institut des Finances Basil Fuleihan to offer technical assistance and capacity building for Lebanese journalists in fiscal transparency. 

The IoF trained two cohorts of journalists on the entire budget cycle -from planning to audit- highlighting its connections to policymaking, identifying gaps in fiscal transparency, and outlining journalists' roles in addressing these issues. 

Additionally, the IOF provided technical assistance and mentorship through the help desk established by Maharat to support journalists and contributed to the creation of periodic media alerts.
