Fragmented digital systems, reliance on paper-based processes, and limited trust in electronic transactions continue to hinder efficiency, transparency, and accountability across the public and private sectors. These challenges are compounded by gaps in digital governance, incomplete regulatory activation, and limited institutional capacity to operationalize key digital enablers.</p><p>In response, the Government of Lebanon, with support from the World Bank, as part of the Lebanon Digital Acceleration Project (LDAP), is undertaking a strategic investment aimed to modernize Lebanon&rsquo;s public sector through digital transformation, stimulate private sector growth, and accelerate the development of a robust digital economy is under preparation with World Bank support. The Lebanon Digital Acceleration Project (the &ldquo;Project&rdquo;) will establish secure, scalable, and resilient digital infrastructure including cloud services, data platforms, and cybersecurity systems that are essential for attracting investment and fostering innovation. By strengthening digital ID, e-signature capabilities, and the legal framework for digital transactions, the Project will improve the ease of doing business and enable trusted, efficient engagement between the public and private sectors. In parallel, the Project will advance key regulatory reforms in telecom, data protection, e-signature, and artificial intelligence (AI), while investing in Lebanon&rsquo;s digital talent pool. Together, these measures will lay the foundation for a more competitive, dynamic, and inclusive economy.</p><p>The World Bank&rsquo;s Grant Facility for Project Preparation (GFPP) has been extended to OMSAR to support Project preparation. The GFPP grant will be implemented by a Technical Unit (TU) housed within OMSAR.</p><p>Within this broader digital transformation agenda, the modernization and digitization of civil registration services represents an important priority and a key enabler for trusted digital service delivery. The Directorate General of Civil Status (DGCS), under the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities (MoIM), is the national owner of Lebanon&rsquo;s civil registration and National ID databases. Civil registration operations are centrally governed but highly decentralised, with Civil Status Qalams (CSQs), Mukhtars and other actors playing critical roles in registration, certification and issuance of civil status documents. The digitization level of CSQs is quite low with the Beirut Qalam slightly higher where a portion of the archived documents are scanned or microfished.</p><p>A June 2026 Directorate General of Civil Status &ndash; eServices Digitisation Priorities assessment identified significant opportunities to improve citizen-facing services and internal workflows through digital processes, interoperability, digital identity, electronic signatures and secure exchange of official information. It also identified important prerequisites, including assessment of existing systems and data sources, readiness of local civil status offices, digital skills of key actors, legal and institutional constraints, and transaction volumes. The assessment proposes a phased procurement approach in which Phase 1 provides the upstream evidence needed to sequence and cost subsequent use-case design and the downstream civil registration platform.</p><p>Phase 1 is intended to be implemented rapidly under the World Bank Grant Facility for Project Preparation (GFPP) during 2026. It is deliberately focused on cross-cutting readiness and feasibility questions rather than detailed use-case-specific solution design, which will be addressed under the subsequent phases. The assignment will therefore establish an evidence base for investment decisions, confirm critical dependencies and constraints, and provide a prioritised roadmap and requirements for the downstream phases.</p><p>Assignment and Objectives</p><p>The objective of this assignment is to undertake a rapid, practical and evidence-based assessment of the institutional, technical, operational, legal and readiness conditions required to digitise priority DGCS services and to prepare the foundation for subsequent use-case design and the civil registration platform build.</p><p>The specific objectives are to:</p><ul><li>Establish a reliable baseline of existing DGCS/CR systems, data sources, interfaces, workflows and information flows relevant to the proposed digitisation programme.</li><li>Assess digital readiness of a representative sample of local Civil Status Qalams and other relevant service points, including connectivity, equipment, operating practices and basic technology readiness.</li><li>Assess the digital skills, roles and capacity of key actors, including CSQ staff and Mukhtar, and identify priority capacity-building requirements.</li><li>Assess options and prerequisites for digitising the DGCS and CSQs logbook and connecting those to DGCS workflows.</li><li>Assess options and prerequisites for digitising the Mukhtar local logbook and connecting authorised Mukhtars to DGCS workflows.</li><li>Assess the feasibility and high-level requirements for a wider Civil Registration administrative workflow capability.</li><li>Assess options for digitally recording and managing the transfer of physical documents that remain legally or operationally necessary.</li><li>Confirm the need and high-level implementation options for digitising previously identified Civil Status processes within the boundaries of applicable law and institutional mandates.</li><li>Assess options for electronic signatures and digital proofs as trust mechanisms for exchanging official civil-status documents.</li><li>Identify key legal, institutional, operational, interoperability, cybersecurity, privacy, procurement and sustainability dependencies that could affect downstream investments.</li><li>Produce a prioritized, sequenced and cost-informed implementation roadmap for subsequent phases.</li><li>Confirm the critical preconditions, access arrangements, stakeholder decisions and dependencies that must be in place to enable timely execution of the downstream phases.</li></ul><p>Scope of Work and Deliverables</p><p>The Consultant shall undertake the following tasks. Activities shall be conducted in parallel whenever possible in close coordination with DGCS/MoIM and relevant government stakeholders and shall respect applicable institutional mandates.</p><p><strong>Task 1: Current Systems, Data and Integration Landscape </strong></p><ul><li>The terms data, database and system in this section refer to both digital and analogue or paper-based systems, as well as partially digitalized systems with paper or analogue components.</li><li>Inventory and assess existing centralized DGCS systems, including civil registry, e-ICSE/e-FCSE capabilities, , any other relevant databases, and relevant portals or workflow components.</li><li>Identify relevant external systems and data sources that may need to exchange information with DGCS, including hospital systems, Mukhtar records, and other relevant government systems.</li><li>Document, at a high level, key data flows, interfaces, integration dependencies, data ownership/stewardship considerations and known coverage or data-quality issues, including the digitization status of existing records and any major data cleansing or migration requirements that may affect downstream implementation.</li><li>Identify opportunities for reuse or extension of existing platforms and digital building blocks, avoiding unnecessary duplication.</li><li>Assess the readiness of existing systems and data sources to support APIs, secure data exchange and downstream workflow digitisation.</li><li>Assess, at a high level, the existing business continuity, backup and disaster recovery arrangements for critical DGCS systems and data, including major gaps that could affect the availability and recovery of civil registration and services.</li></ul><p><strong>Task 2: Local Office Digital Readiness Assessment </strong></p><ul><li>Develop a representative sampling approach for CSQs and other relevant local service points, taking account of geographic, operational and workload diversity. The sample should be representative of the CSQs in Lebanon and include geographically distributed set of CSQs from urban, rural, and remote locations.</li><li>Assess internet connectivity (type, availability, quality, stability), workstations/devices, local networking, power/availability considerations, scanning/printing and other equipment required for digital processing.</li><li>Assess current operational practices for recording vital events and carrying out basic transactions, workflow maturity and constraints affecting adoption of digital processes. Capture, where available, basic service-level information such as transaction volumes, processing times, service demand, and key citizen-facing constraints to inform downstream prioritization and
