About Us
Lubna Research Center (LUBNA) was established in 2023 and commenced operations in 2024. The center is managed by a team of seasoned professionals with substantial experience in public policy research, having worked with government entities, opposition groups, and third-party organizations.
As we navigate new experiences and continuous learning, sometimes information overflows, overwhelms, and goes unused or remains undeveloped. To address this, we decided to create a specific platform that serves as an archive for capturing our experiences, learnings, and ideas.
Our mission is to provide insights and analyses on critical issues impacting our nation's public policy. We are committed to offering diverse, critical, and thoughtful articles and discussions on various topics, including economic growth and opportunity, poverty, housing policy, agriculture, transportation, plantation and commodities, and socioeconomic issues.
We play a significant role similar to that of any research center or think tank. Our goal is to be a valuable and independent resource. We believe that well-informed public policy decisions are essential for creating a better future for all. We aim to provide readers and audiences with the information and resources they need to make informed decisions.
Decision makers are the decision takers.
