Presentation of the IOB:

The IOB’s mandate is to provide a civil society-led mechanism for broad oversight on the implementation of the Lebanon Reform, Recovery and Reconstruction Framework (3RF) and to hold 3RF stakeholders accountable for 3RF progress through ensuring overarching monitoring of the 3RF related reforms and programs. Composed of representatives of the Lebanese Civil Society as outside experts and civic leaders, the IOB assumes the responsibility to monitor the critical aspects of managing the aid process: effectiveness, efficiency and transparency. In other words, it tracks and analyzes the progress of the reforms assigned to the Government of Lebanon (GoL), and focuses on the effectiveness, efficiency and transparency of the operations being implemented under the 3RF framework.
