We believe that it is important for all NGOs to form sorts of collaborations and unions so that they can reach better chances for mutual cooperation and mutual projects . As an Egyptian NGO we seek cooperation from our Counterparts in the Mediterranean whether North or South as our country is in a transitional period towards democracy and rule of law with some obstacles that face civil work contribute strongly in that direction .
