Who We Are
The Planning and Development Agency (PDA) is a Lebanese nonprofit strategic actor specializing in cross-border development, institutional innovation, and socio-economic systems design.
Since 2009, PDA has led and implemented flagship projects across Lebanon, the Mediterranean, and the broader MENA region — working as a lead applicant, project designer, and transnational partner.
Backed by 18+ years of operational expertise and a multidisciplinary professional team, PDA integrates strategic planning, sustainable development engineering, and actionable innovation through three core operational channels:
-
🧭 PDA Consultancy Center
-
⚙️ SILO Action Tools
-
🧠 DIALOG Think Tank
PDA’s mission is to develop scalable, evidence-based mechanisms that strengthen governance, foster economic opportunity, and build resilient institutions across borders.
Our Vision and Mission
Our Vision
To lead sustainable transformation across the MENA–MED region by integrating strategic development planning with the piloting of foundational tools — advancing socio-economic innovation, institutional resilience, and civic trust.
Our Mission
To design, implement, and scale actionable development models that respond to real needs, foster transnational cooperation, and strengthen the foundations of inclusive, rights-based governance.
FLAGSHIP CROSS-BORDER PROGRAMS
From CIUDAD to NEXTMED: Experience in Strategic Programs
With 18+ years of experience in flagship cross-border cooperation frameworks, PDA has contributed as applicant, partner, and technical leader — while cultivating a robust network of partners and a highly skilled professional team.
