There's An Open & Free Website Showing Data On All Internal Lebanese Affairs To Increase Transparency
The IMPACT online platform has steadily grown to encompass an increasing number of sectors and domains and provided an ever-growing repository of information readily available to the public in Lebanon.
IMPACT, which stands for the Inter-Ministerial and Municipal Platform for Assessment, Coordination and Tracking, is a free online database that links the citizens, local government, and central government to a common, comprehensive platform that operates on the national level.
The platform is an initiative by Central Inspection, Lebanon's main investigative and inspection agency, to provide the public with easier access to information.
It is also supposed to serve as a tool that can facilitate auditing, incident reporting, and crisis management.
