As one of the core public service providers, the Directorate General of Personal Status (DGPS) plays a critical role in ensuring citizens’ access to civil registration and identity-related services, which are fundamental to legal identity, protection, and access to public services. In light of the multiple crises affecting Lebanon, including the impact of the recent conflict, the demand for timely and accessible civil registration services has significantly increased. At the same time, several Personal Status Departments have faced operational challenges, including increased workloads, damaged infrastructure, and limited administrative capacity. Strengthening the Directorate’s operational capacity is therefore essential to ensure the continuity and quality of service delivery. As part of its support to the MoIM, UNDP is assisting the Directorate General of Personal Status in enhancing its operational efficiency and improving service delivery through targeted technical assistance. To support these efforts, UNDP is seeking a National Technical Consultant to provide technical and administrative support to the Directorate in processing, organizing, verifying, and managing civil registration data and related records, thereby contributing to more efficient, accurate, and citizen-centred service delivery across the Personal Status Departments.
