2018/21 SPAEG Towards Reciliant Egyptian Communities and Civil Society (Ceoss)

The project has a dual purpose of addressing both development and dialogue issues in Egypt as they are “two sides of the same coin”. These issues hinder peaceful co-existence between different religious groups that in effect are barriers in developing sustainable agriculture, access to education, social services and health services. The project has contributed towards the creation of an enabling environment characterised by prevalence of social cohesion, citizenship values and accepting the other in Minia, Cairo and Beni Sueif. The project has enhanced sustainable development to ensure improved livelihoods for the poor and marginalised people, by introducing and training local community- based organisations in resilience concepts and by engaging young religious leaders to act as agents of change.
