Our Framework : Empower Local Authorities


Decentralization​ ​and​ ​Governance

Building​ ​the​ ​modern​ ​state​ ​and​ ​achieving​ ​a​ ​breakthrough​ ​in development​ ​requires​ ​decentralization​ ​and​ ​governance.​ ​The​ ​government​ ​is​ ​working​ ​to implement​ ​the​ ​decentralization​ ​as​ ​stipulated​ ​in​ ​the​ ​constitution​ ​,and​ ​to​ ​set​ ​the​ ​optimal framework​ ​for​ ​the​ ​management​ ​of​ ​state​ ​affairs​ ​and​ ​society.

Civic​ ​Engagement

International​ ​and​ ​non-governmental​ ​organizations​ ​have​ ​worked for​ ​many​ ​years​ ​in​ ​development​ ​programs​ ​that​ ​cover​ ​various​ ​sectors​ ​including​ ​health, education,​ ​the​ ​environment​ ​,and​ ​others.​ ​Despite​ ​the​ ​efforts​ ​and​ ​resources​ ​employed​ ​in these​ ​programs,​ ​development​ ​needs​ ​are​ ​increasing​ ​and​ ​there​ ​is​ ​still​ ​much​ ​to​ ​be​ ​done​ ​to achieve​ ​inclusive​ ​development.​

​Local​ ​Economic​ ​Development

The​ ​Egyptian​ ​Governorates​ ​face​ ​many​ ​issues​ ​and​ ​differences​ ​on the​ ​developmental​ ​level​ ​of​ ​governorates.​ ​Such​ ​problems​ ​are:​ ​low​ ​living​ ​standards,​ ​high level​ ​of​ ​poverty,​ ​injustice​ ​in​ ​development​ ​returns’​ ​distribution,​ ​in​ ​addition​ ​to developmental​ ​disparities​ ​among​ ​governorates,​​ ​besides​ ​the​ ​high​ ​levels​ ​of​ ​unemployment,​ ​particularly​ ​among​ ​youth​ ​and villagers,​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​optimal​ ​and​ ​efficient​ ​use​ ​of​ ​local​ ​resources.
