How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Established on April, 2012 in the aftermath of the January 25th revolution, Baseera's membership in the network will form a win-win relationship with Anna Lindh. Baseera can play an essential role in reflecting Egyptians' opinion, thoughts, aspirations and needs that have been changed after the revolution. This will help the network members to better understand the Egyptian context after the January 25th revolution.
