              Introduction

              The Institute of National Planning was established in 1960 as an independent public body that carries out a scientific activity that covers all issues and fields of planning and development. The institutional structure of the institute has also been developed to enhance its role as a center for scientific thinking through the issuance of Law No. (13) of 2015. It is also concerned with conducting research, providing consultations, building capacity and serving the community by organizing training programs and granting scientific degrees (diploma - masters - doctorate) alone or in cooperation With universities and research centers at home and abroad. .

              Program Mission:

              “An innovative program that enables the students to attain knowledge and skills necessary to deal with future challenges, and prepares them distinctly for the different business models related to the areas of planning and development nationally, regionally and internationally ."
