Transformation of Displaced database to new environment and acquisition of new hardware for the Ministry of Displaced

Status :		Completed
Cost :		$68,850 (Phase I: $40,500, Phase II: $12,350 & Phase III: $16,000)
Source of Fund :		Government Budget
Scope :		The automation of the Ministry of Displaced project covers the implementation of a new ICT infrastructure network (phase I) and providing the Ministry with new servers, computers, network printers, standalone printers and software packages to support an Application System that consolidates records of all Displaced Citizens (phase II). In addition to that, the project includes a training component that allows the technical staff team to administer the network, the running databases and to upgrade the existing database application and develop other databases when the need arises. To expedite the upgrade of the database application used by the Ministry, OMSAR recruited an Information System Programmer / Analyst for a period of 4 months (phase III). OMSAR supervised on a weekly basis the upgrade and development of this application that was completed in July 2003.

The Ministry of the Displaced is responsible for the affairs of all the displaced on the Lebanese territory that include: (a) ensuring their return to their villages, (b) improving their social and economic situation, (c) assisting them in settling down in their place of residency and in fully contributing in their rights and obligations as citizens. The previous computer system of the Ministry of Displaced was installed in the early 1990's. During late 1999, OMSAR carried out a site inspection to assess the implications of the Year 2000 problem on the current Network with its various components. Some components were fixed, others needed to be replaced. Thus, updating and adding functionality and new technologies to the system had become a necessity, as it no longer met the current operational and administrative requirements of the Ministry of Displaced. To achieve this, OMSAR launched in September 2000 the Automation of Ministry of Displaced project
