Early life and education

edit

Lamia Moubayed Bissat was born on March 27, 1967, in Beirut, Lebanon.[3]

Moubayed graduated with an engineering degree in agriculture in 1988 and received her master's degree in Agricultural Economics and Development from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in 1990. In 1991, Moubayed co-founded Green line, the first non-governmental organization (NGO) in Lebanon addressing environmental and agricultural development.[4]

In 1998, she joined l'Ecole Supérieure des Affaires in Beirut to pursue a master's in business administration (MBA)[4].

Career

edit

Moubayed began her career in 1992, as a researcher for the Consultation and Research Institute in Lebanon (CRI), a firm specialized in business consultation and quantitative and qualitative field studies regarding social and economic development in Lebanon and the MENA region.[4] In 1995, Lamia Moubayed joined the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Beirut as a program officer.[4] In July 1999, Lamia Moubayed joined the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for West Asia (ESCWA) under the jurisdiction of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)[5].

In 2000, the French Ministry of Economy and Finance selected and appointed Moubayed to become head and director of the Institut des Finances Basil Fuleihan in Lebanon.[6] Moubayed lectures public management at the Institute of Political Sciences of Université Saint Joseph in Beirut (Sciences-Po).[7]

On 1 January 2018, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres appointed for a four-year term to serve as one of the 24 CEPA experts.[8] Moubayed supports enhancing capacity building in the public procurement unit.[9] In 2020, she took part in the launch of the 2020 United Nations E-Government Survey organized by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs.[10][11]

Moubayed is a founding and a secretariat member through the Institute of Finance, of the GIFT-MENA network of civil service training schools in the Middle East and North Africa, established in 2006 and currently based in Beirut.[12][13][14] She also contributed to founding the MENAPAR network of research in public administration, currently based in Bahrain.[15]

Moubayed inaugurated a public library that includes more than twenty-three thousand references accessible to the public and initiated a series of citizen guides to increase awareness on public financial management issues and facilitate citizen transactions entitled "Fiscal and Financial Awareness Series".[16][17]

In an interview with Le Commerce du Levant, Moubayed highlighted that "stating that the responsibility to conduct or shape public governmental action is only restrained in the hands of the state and its bureaucracies has become obsolete. Today, civil society organizations and the private sector are equally accountable and involved in the process".[18]

In an interview with Executive Magazine, she said that "it is important to understand that feminism coupled with empowering women does not come at the expense of men. Indeed, both are eminently required and recommended in order to produce an adequate outcome in a public institution".[19]
