Things are looking brighter for the de-bureaucratization of Lebanon and the establishment of an e-government. As Lebanon finds itself in a revival state, Lebanese governmental entities are benefiting from international funding that is set to finance several projects across ministries to build up effective electronic governance as well as democratizing the Lebanese legislation system.

An example of this is a recent project launched by the Office of the Minister of State for Administrative Reform (OMSAR) for the Standardization of Government Transaction Forms. In conclusion of its tender for the project, OMSAR has awarded the contract to Integrated Digital Systems (IDS) as a solution provider and IT Consultant, and The Levant Lawyers (TLL), as legal consultants.
