USAID Launches New TRA Website

December 2, 2008

USAID/Lebanon Mission Director Denise A. Herbol attended the launching of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA)’s new portal and information database on December 3, 2008.  Along with the Minister of Telecommunications, Ms. Herbol spoke about the importance of this program as the GOL moves forward in preparation for the sale of the two mobile telecoms in Lebanon.  The project falls under the USAID-funded Transparency and Accountability Grants (TAG) program, implemented by AMIDEAST. USAID provided a grant to the TRA for $100,000 to enable it to develop its current website www.tra.gov.lb that serves as a comprehensive bi-lingual information portal on information and communication technology (ICT), targeting the general public as well as ICT professionals. The TRA’s share of the project amounts to $65,320.
