The Minister of State for Administrative Development Affairs, Fadi Makki, announced today, Thursday, November 12, 2026, the opening of public consultation on the draft “Citizen’s Charter 2026,” through a post on his official account on the “X” platform. This step comes within the framework of the “Restructuring State Administrations and Institutions 2030” program, and aims to involve citizens in making administrative decisions, rebuild trust between the citizen and the public administration, and consolidate the principle of participation in preparing legislation that affects daily life.
Makki explained that the preparation of the draft was launched under the slogan “Your voice, your law,” based on the principle that participation in decision-making is a citizen’s right and listening to him is part of the state’s responsibility. He pointed out that the Ministry listened to about 15,000 male and female citizens through more than 100 consultative sessions and a national questionnaire, aimed at monitoring their daily experiences with public administration, identifying the difficulties they face and the changes necessary to restore their confidence in official institutions.
The proposed draft has become available to the public through the new “Citizen Portal” (https://citizen.omsar.gov.lb/surveys), allowing them to benefit from it to view its content, submit comments, and suggest amendments, provided that these contributions are taken into account during the drafting of the final text of the draft law before its official launch.
Makki stressed that the goal of this step goes beyond simply collecting opinions to establish a new governmental approach based on involving citizens in discussing draft laws and decrees before approving them, stressing that the observations of those concerned contribute to revealing gaps and contradictions and enhancing the quality of decisions and their applicability.
At the conclusion of his announcement, Minister Makki called on all citizens to read the draft and share their opinions and suggestions, pointing out that public consultation will remain open during the period from 12 to 27 November 2026 through the electronic portal designated for that purpose.
