WHO ARE WE?

Partners in Development for Research, Consulting and Training PID are an Egyptian think tank that specializes in development studies, broadly defined. It was established as a private company under the Law of Companies No. 159 of 1981 and the Investment Law No. 8 of 1997.

PID was founded by a number of Egyptian experts, university professors, international civil servants, and businessmen known for their concern with issues of development. They build on the experience of successfully running a research center at Cairo University, which had acquired an international reputation under their leadership

They find in this new think tank an opportunity to put their knowledge and expertise to the service of economic, social, and cultural development in Egypt and other Arab countries. The status of a private company ensures the sustainability and independence of PID’s activities.
