class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLebanon is in an existential crisis. This is reflected in the collapse of its economy, major social and demographic upheavals and a questioning of the power system in place since the end of the war. This power system is based in particular on a politico-financial oligarchy with communitarian and militia components. It has monopolized the institutions of the state to the point where Lebanon now ranks, a hundred years after its creation, in the unenviable category of failed states, with all the risks entailed.\n<br><br>\nRebuilding the state is a priority. Unstructured popular movements and citizens in search of renewal are looking for ways to embark on this path. This also implies mobilizing the tools of non-partisan thinking and public action.\n<br><br>\nThe project to create our Foundation is born from this priority. The Foundation will serve as an instrument of strategic thinking and influence for the various actors on the Lebanese scene, whether local or international. The Foundation, while promoting citizenry, will provide a range of public policies options, create the debate and serve as a catalyst for the implementation of specific public policies. Its vocation will be to accompany Lebanon beyond the end of the crisis to preempt the challenges and essential choices of the future, and mobilize its population and its youth to support optimal choices and push toward their implementation.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e15a499 elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e15a499\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-68576be\" data-id=\"68576be\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8443699 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8443699\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUnlike what happens in politically developed countries where think-tanks contribute to the formulation of public policies in full recognition of their role, Lebanon is not in this configuration. The challenge is to bring about changes of a systemic nature through the promotion of ideas, projects, recommendations, and public policies\u2019 choices.\n<br><br>\nThe stake is to contribute to the evolution of the power system and governance despite the limitations of the institutional and political game, and the inherent resistance to the modernization of institutions.\n<br><br>\nThe choice of themes is therefore dictated by a common thread: that of their transformative and systemic nature.\n<br><br>\nThere are many, given the current configuration of relation modes at the economic, social, and institutional levels in the Lebanese system. Currently, essential elements such as justice, the media, education, the health system, basic infrastructure, public administration, the armed forces &#8211; to name but a few examples &#8211; respond to the double logic of communitarian distribution of power and of economic and social rents perpetuated for the benefit of identified groups \/ families.\n<br><br>\nOn the other hand, essential issues such as the ecological transition and the digital transformation are completely overlooked, whereas they should be addressed given the size of the opportunity cost involved.\n<br><br>\nOther critical options are taboo, in particular when it comes to rationalizing the relations between Lebanon and Syria on solid ground, or when striving to optimize governance under a communitarian system.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3303471\"

The Citizen Foundation is also proactive in managing the debate on those various options. Combining the functions of a \u201cthink tank\u201d and a \u201cdo\u00a0 tank\u201d,the Foundation deals with subjects upstream with the parties concerned, then proposes clear and structuring choices in the short, medium and long terms, to finally create and organize the debate downstream.It is always mindful of bringing the youth into the process. Established in Lebanon and intended to support the challenges in this country, its action covers the Arab world, and extends to relations with Europe and its institutions. The Citizen Foundation offers optimal public policy choices, makes them explicit to the driving forces in one country, gathers support around them, and then pushes toward their implementation<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-13c7e38 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"13c7e38\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1912178\" data-id=\"1912178\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-281a124 dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"281a124\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1332\" src=\"https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PSX_20211010_171747-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-914\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PSX_20211010_171747-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PSX_20211010_171747-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PSX_20211010_171747-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PSX_20211010_171747-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PSX_20211010_171747-1536x799.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PSX_20211010_171747-2048x1066.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-0e42130 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0e42130\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-243f291\" data-id=\"243f291\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc7ea9a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc7ea9a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A Foundation for the re-founding of Lebanon whose vocation is to think about the overhaul of the State and its public policies. In particular, it provides a set of policy options and will act as an enabler in various areas that are of high importance to stabilize the country, put it on a sustainable development path, and facilitate and accelerate its recovery. The Foundation is engaged in a permanent dialogue with the various parties involved on the Lebanese scene, be they local, civil society, or international, bilateral or multilateral. It relies on a wide network of high-quality collaborators, and ensures the monitoring and lobbying necessary to promote the choices resulting from its work. It also relies locally on quality staff who have extensive experience in Lebanese institutions and hands-on management. Supported by high-level non-partisan figures, well-recognized for their independent minds and impressive international expertise, the Foundation ensures its autonomy through diversified sources of funding. The Foundation seeks to propose options and ideas, and to disseminate them in a logic of influence, and to accompany the process until targets are met. A network of driving forces for change is being constituted, bringing together intellectuals, private players, associations, youth, universities, and others. The Citizen Foundation chooses its topics based on their transformative nature. The main focus of the Foundation is Lebanon, with right on target subjects, but it also provides expertise to Arab countries, especially when the same topics addressed for Lebanon are of relevance to others. The Foundation is also providing a southern look at policies promoted by the northern part of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c0652b0 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c0652b0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6a69f22\" data-id=\"6a69f22\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-459dfbd dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"459dfbd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Artboard-3@2x.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-580\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Artboard-3@2x.png 3840w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Artboard-3@2x-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Artboard-3@2x-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Artboard-3@2x-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Artboard-3@2x-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/lcflb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Artboard-3@2x-2048x1152.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3840px) 100vw, 3840px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6898e57 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6898e57\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f288661\" data-id=\"f288661\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c95f97c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c95f97c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The logo has been created after a thorough type analysis that focused on the letter \u201cC\u201d (citizen)<\/p><ul><li>Edges have been rounded in order to emulate inclusivity and tolerance, 2 important aspects that our current society doesn\u2019t really value as it should.<\/li><li>We decided to flip it and reflect it to show transparency in proactivity and create the spearhead shape to represent a powerful thrust that can\u2019t be stopped.

There will be a dual focus on macro and sectors, since both are central legs of a reform agenda. On the macro, how to fix the state is important, as well as major options such as bank restructuring, sustainable development and civil rights. Also, inclusive growth opens studies on business climate, SMEs, new industries and green industries.<\/p><p>Other studies will focus on short and medium-term infrastructure and sectoral issues. Many topics are identified (see below) and are subject to strategic and operational validation. Some items are related to the expected reinitiating of the sectoral and infrastructure agenda supported by international financing, and in all cases, topics are selected to highlight credible alternatives to unsuccessful public policies and poor governance.<\/p><p>The Foundation complements its research and studies with wide awareness campaigns to mobilize citizens\u2019 and organized groups\u2019 support on the relevant topics.
