While some ground work for this evaluation process was carried out in 2003, a more elaborate Impact Assessment Mechanism will be formulated in the year 2004. Performance Indicators will also be developed and embedded in to the developed mechanism.

A related internal automation project at OMSAR was developed in 2003, namely the “OMSAR Projects Database”. This application that was developed for OMSAR staff - project and management - to store and retrieve details on projects that will or are being implemented. For each project record, detailed information pertaining to project plan, milestones attained and progress remarks or notes can be entered and retrieved when needed. The application was enhanced to become an input application for the website: www.OMSAR.gov.lb that presents OMSAR projects. The projects database application has been tested and will be put to full use in 2004. Enhancements with newer features and indicators will be made to the application as well.
