In 1994, after suspension of Municipal Elections during the war, a group of educated Lebanese citizens saw the need to establish an association that addresses the development of municipal work and updating the laws. In 27 march 1995, under the license number 53/AD, MDA was established. Lebanese citizens of different ages and religions joined MDA believing that successful work is achieved by participation of the whole civil society. MDA’s members include researchers and law specialists.

 

MDA’s principles are brief and are a strengthening basis to our Lebanese community:

• MDA is an independent non lucrative NGO and non political goals.
• The inhabitants of certain city are responsible of taking care of their environment and promoting human development in it.
• MDA communicates and deals with other associations and/or governmental organizations in a democratic, civilized, and scientific manner.
