Tahawor project, encompassing Phases 1 and 2 under the Rashad Center for Cultural Governance (RCCG), aims to instigate values-driven reforms within the Lebanese Parliament. In Phase 1, the project engages 30 parliamentarians and their staff in round table discussions to formulate long-term values-based reform policies. Key areas such as public service, justice, freedoms and transparency are addressed. Throughout phase 2, the consensus extends to 4 thematic areas, including Reforms, Human Rights, Education and Environment. The participatory approach bring together MPs’ staff, civil society actors, and experts, with the active involvement of specialized NGOs and research centers. This collaborative approach emphasizes inclusivity and participatory drafting of laws, addressing deficiencies in Lebanon’s legislative process. The overarching goal remains to initiate values-driven reforms, foster cross-party relationships among MPs, and cultivate a more efficient political culture for enduring good governance in Lebanon.
