Status
The project was closed in 2017, but the dissemination of the outputs, coaching, coordination with the Civil Service Board are still ongoing with a future vision to widen the scope of the administrations involved in the HR efforts. HR Task Forces have been established and well-trained, accordingly.
Currently, the OMSAR is working with the CSB to develop a Directory for Referential Jobs that includes standardized job descriptions for the common positions that exist in the Lebanese ministries. Completing the job descriptions for pilot ministries is a set target for the upcoming period. The OMSAR is expected to support the CSB to coach and train the civil servants on the implementation of the performance appraisal system.
