PROGRAMS

The National State Academy operationalizes its mission through a structured set of programs, including forums, educational and engagement programs, and sector-specific programs across a wide range of themes and sectors. Together, these domains constitute an integrated model that combines scientific inquiry, participatory learning, and co-productive mechanisms to advance interdisciplinary research and contribute to both local reform and global knowledge production.
Forums
NSA forums function as institutionalized platforms for national dialogue, collective reflection, and policy interpretation. They provide spaces for structured readings, sectoral analysis, and evidence-based deliberation on Lebanon’s foundational texts and strategic directions. Designed as co-learning environments, the forums convene citizens, scholars, and policymakers to interrogate commitments, identify systemic gaps, and co-develop actionable frameworks.
Educational & Engagement Programs
NSA’s educational portfolio combines academic rigor, participatory pedagogy, and experiential civic engagement. These programs are designed to capacitate institutions, organizations, and individuals with the analytical and practical tools necessary to practice democracy, address complexity, and advance the theory and practice of citizenship.
Sectoral Programs
NSA’s sectoral programs deploy research methodologies, assessment tools, and co-productive approaches to address Lebanon’s developmental challenges. These initiatives actively contribute to the production, interpretation, and dissemination of international, regional, and national assessments, reports, and guidelines, situating Lebanon within global scholarly and policy debates.
