The e-Government Smartcard initiative for the Republic
of Lebanon was commissioned under the Malaysian Technical Assistance Programme
following our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s proposal
to the Lebanese Prime Minister in the Arab League Summit in March 2007
that Malaysia would look into providing technical assistance and developing
human capital for Lebanon. A Malaysian team was sent to Lebanon the same
year to assess the possibility of using the smartcard technology in e-Government
applications.
MSC Technology Centre Sdn Bhd, were appointed to undertake the project in
March 2008. This project requires an independent assessment and recommendation
on the requirements towards a comprehensive term of reference for the implementation
of the Lebanese e-Government Smartcard. The e-Government Smartcard will
be a multi government applications smartcard for the citizens of Lebanon.
The Lebanese’s Office of the Minister of State for Administrative
Reform (OMSAR) is the lead agency representing the Republic of Lebanon
for this initiative.
