About the e-Government Grants program
 |
| The new global consensus to change the framework of development aid places priority on the strengthening of developing countries’ administrative systems. Particular emphasis is being placed on the improvement of financial management, development planning, public procurement and service delivery to citizens. E-government systems are a critical component of institutional capacity building. Our e-Government Grants Program fits squarely within this agenda, helping governments increase efficiency in the public sector through improved transparency and institutional capacity in critical areas. The program is a partnership with the Government of Italy and it is open to additional co-funders. Lebanon e-Procurement The Government of Lebanon is planning to connect five ministries through an e-government system that aims to cut costs by streamlining their procurement processes and opening them to more competitive bidding online. The first phase of the system is being deployed with technical assistance and a grant from our e-Government Grants Program. The grant was announced in November 2005. This first phase includes the installation and upgrading of back-office systems, creation of a website and training. Upon completion of the first phase, the five ministries will post their tenders together on the website. The Office of the Minister of State for Administrative Reform (OMSAR) of the Government of Lebanon is the designated national implementing agency.
