Consultancy services for the development of the social services providers registry

In the framework of the Ministry of Social Affairs' vision to strengthen the social protection and welfare system in Lebanon and the provision of social services to various groups, institutional networks within a national referral system including different stakeholders (Social Development Centers versus Civil Society Organizations and vice versa) should be created after stimulating the partnership and the cooperation among the local concerned actors. The current social interventions require the ascertainment of these intervention patterns in terms of nature and distribution. Thus to measure the response level to the needs sustainably as a prerequisite of institutional network creation within a comprehensive, coordinated, and managed referral system including different stakeholders (Social Development Centers versus Civil Society Organizations and vice versa) and  at the national level.

The Ministry of Social Affairs decided to document/organize the process of registering social service providers by building a central database through an information system. This process will come after elaborating national definition of social services and after the identification and categorization of the social service providers in line with the role of the Ministry of Social Affairs. That will be followed by mapping the service providers and build up a database that will be linked to the E-network of the Social Development Centers. Accordingly, the ministry seeks the services of social development and civil society expert to develop the framework of social interventions and to structure the registry of the social service providers that will be hosted by MoSA based on a classification system in line with its role.
