About Us

The “Lebanese Centre for Strategic Planning”, under its chairmanship, is a high-level advisory body, composed of local and international specialists, to support the Administrative Council in endorsing the desired intellectual fronts and embodying them into multiple projects and activities.

The “Lebanese Centre for Strategic Planning”, together with meaningful academic bodies, cultural organizations, social institutions, local, regional and international, and donors in Lebanon and the world, weaves a broad and solid network of cooperation to promote its objectives. From the moment of the inauguration of the “Lebanese Centre for Strategic Planning”, the Centre becomes a cornerstone of cognitive and applied work in the service of the human being.

Our Aim

The Lebanese Centre for Strategic Planning is a road map for a project for present and future generations, which is derived from the need of marching and advancing together towards the concept of “the Third Option1”, that is, in the direction of “yeses” to address the massive catastrophic structural collapse by high-end, peaceful and nonviolent means, within the framework of a strategic vision to revive humans

Goals

Providing an integrated programme to achieve the message, which possesses scientific and objective application mechanisms.

Developing a new life-cycle approach that pulls out the Lebanese society of its suffering and its relational predicament to activate the principle of “marching together” in the project of paving the road for an honest and complete citizenship in the human state

Fundamental orientations

The National Centre for Strategic Planning is inspired by the core of the concept of citizenship, emerging from within the Lebanese national and cross- sectional fabric, the Catholic Church’s social education, the Church’s oriental Maronite, Orthodox, Syriac and other literature, and studies, research and documents related to the Centre’s strategic goals, both Christian and Islamic, especially those related to the concept of citizenship and peacebuilding, and to education for communication and openness, and to replace the saying “coexistence” with the saying “living together”, but rather the saying “living full citizenship”.
