Our Story

In 2011, against the backdrop of the Arab Spring, two Jordanian and American development practioners founded Integrated International to reimagine development and drive lasting, transformative change across MENA.

The widespread unrest across the MENA region had exposed deep-rooted social and economic challenges, revealing a critical need for fresh approaches to development. Inspired by the belief that the region’s potential could only be unlocked through new thinking, we set out to create a company that could drive transformative change.

From the beginning, Integrated’s mission was clear: challenge the status quo and build sustainable, inclusive, and locally driven solutions. Our founders recognized that traditional development methods weren’t delivering the needed lasting outcomes. They believed that to make a real impact, development work had to go beyond surface-level fixes and embrace deep learning, multi-stakeholder engagement, and innovation.

Over the past decade, Integrated has grown into a diverse team of experts from the region who share this vision. Together, we have navigated complex social, economic, and environmental challenges, all while staying true to our core belief: that real, lasting change happens when local voices lead the way.

Today, Integrated International is more than just a company. It is a women-led organization that reflects the resilience and determination of the MENA region, and of the commitment to make a meaningful difference, one project at a time.
