General Information

The National Development Foundation (NDF) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that works to benefit all peoples within the state of Egypt, with a focus on community and individual development. The foundation has worked in multiple governorates within Egypt but holds a particular focus on those areas where the population happens to be marginalised or is most in need of help. NDF emphasises methods of community participation as an effective means of improving the lives and living conditions of those people it works with, and seeks to include and consult local institutions and civil society at every point so as to achieve lasting and sustainable development. NDF is implementing this Year a Regional Program funded by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) in cooperation with another 3 Regional partners from Tunisia, Jordon and Lebanon. In addition to another 6 local implementing partners in Egypt. NDF have more than 9 local partners in Egypt through its projects and activities.

Mission and Objectives

Vision: The National Development Foundation envisions a well-informed, capable and empowered citizenry with the ability to provide for themselves and their communities, as well as inspire positive and sustainable change for the state of Egypt. Mission: NDF is on a mission to initiate and promote positive and sustainable change in the Egyptian people’s quality of life, from the means of their livelihood all the way through to their private lives and personal capacities, by working on strategic partnerships, creating enabling environments, establishing positive social norms and assisting individuals and groups to create and implement innovative solutions to their own social and economic problems. Background: NDF was established in 2009 in Nweibaa, South Sinai and registered in Cairo in 2011 (#8349); the founders and core developers of NDF, however, have been working for development within Egypt for well over a decade. The creation of the National Development Foundation is a direct response to the gaps in development provision and implementation that the founders themselves observed throughout their years of development activities.

Main Projects / Activities

 Enhancing Bedouin Youth Skills for Development and Employability in South Sinai Implemented via the South Sinai Regional Development Programme (SSRDP), funded by the European Union (EU). Duration: August 2008 – January 2010.  St. Catherine Bedouin Village Marketing Study Implemented under the technical support of AIDME, funded by LAMANS under the South Sinai Rural Development Programme.  Fostering Democratisation and Good Governance in Sinai Implemented in collaboration with AIDME, funded by the Foundation for the Future (Kingdom of Jordan).

At the current time, NDF has developed and implemented a handful of projects that have been handed over to the target communities and continue to operate today. These include the establishment of a number of important systems and vital channels by which communities may operate efficiently, including:  The management and identification of policy change,  Strengthening both governmental and non-governmental local institutions,  Participatory community planning and management.

General Information

Nazra has 11 board members who are contributing in Nazra strategic plans, missions and different activities. Nazra also has five full time workers and three volunteers . Nazra is implementing different activities such as creating young feminist discourse, biweekly sessions to integrate gender issues to youth perceptions and work on violence against women in both legal and cultural aspects to assess to what extent violence is affecting legislations and culture in Egypt and documenting lives of feminists by producing short documentary films. Nazra receiving fund from the Global Fund for Women and Karama movement to end violence against women

Mission and Objectives

Nazra aims at establishing and entrenching Women’s rights in Egypt through research of the factors of determining the situation of women, providing special interest to two factors we consider the most important: legal codification and social variables. We believe it necessary to work to institute legislations that are more supportive of Women’s rights, applying local, regional and international tools to enforce such legislative progress. We think that this legal struggle must be accompanied by a thorough societal debate on Women’s issues; otherwise we would be risking a gap between the law and society which can undermine the whole venture.
In view of what we have articulated above, we aim at:
* Documenting the role of the Feminist Movement in the Middle East
* Studying the social and cultural contexts affecting the situation of women in the region
* Contributing to the formation of a new generation interested in women’s issues and capable of helping the field
* Helping other NGOs adopt a Gender-conscious perspective in their activities and policies
* Producing short documentary and feature films depicting the lives of women in the region

Main Projects / Activities

* Producing short documentary and feature films depicting the lives of women ‘s rights activists in Egypt
* Changing Masculinities, Changing Communities

General Information

New Hermopolis was founded in 2011 with the mission of capitalizing on Middle Egypt cultural heritage for the cultural development of the region. Our founding is connected to the thought and philosophy of Ancient Hermopolis which focuses on art’s potential to transform societies and the possibility of establishing harmony between man, the other and the universe. New Hermopolis is a retreat built on ecological principles in the middle of sprawling, breathtaking desert and mountain landscape. It is located in Tuna el Gebel village within 20 KM from the main city of Mallawi, approximately 320 kilometres from Cairo. The area is central to a number of archaeological and historical treasures, including ancient temples, monuments, tombs, and museums.

Mission and Objectives

It consists of a place for visitors and a cultural space designed to hold academic and artistic activities for the benefit of the local community and international visitors. With 16 guest lodges that have the capacity for 52 visitors, it is an open environment for local cultural groups, cultural tourists, artists, writers and other retreat groups. This creative medium is open to ideas and activities drawn from a wide range of sectors covering creative writing, visual and performing arts. It carries the ethos of engaging with the local heritage and art, both tangible and intangible to generate new ideas and experiences.
New Hermopolis serves the main city of Mallawi and its surrounding villages (approx.one million inhabitants). The nearest villages are Tuna El –Gebel (3KM) and Ashmunin (8KM). For decades, this region has experienced neglect and marginalization. Despite its wealth of culture, the land that was once a great centre for learning and cultural dialogue has become impoverished and overlooked. Middle Egypt exhibits some of the highest levels of poverty and marginalization in the country. Economic opportunities are scarce but opportunities for free self-expression are even scarcer. Partisanship and intolerance of alternate belief systems has risen, particularly along the Christian-Muslim juxtaposition, higher in this region than many other areas of Egypt.

Main Projects / Activities

New Hermopolis employs a hybrid social-business model that raises revenue from business activities to invest in social change programs within our local communities. Our tour packages include guided itineraries to the different heritage sites of this region with unique opportunities for cross-cultural sharing, learning, and project collaboration. Residencies for cultural/heritage researchers, artists, writers, musicians, and scholars in related fields are on offer. We encourage our visitors, when possible, to deepen their engagement with our local communities and exchange work, concepts, ideas and training opportunities with the local youth. The aim is to foster practice of self-expression, critical thought, and creativity. This is normally delivered in the form of free workshops and trainings that teach through hands-on activities various art forms. These could include performance art such as music and theatre, poetry and creative writing, paint, sculpture, and photography. This milieu is meant to widen the scope of engagement to take on board audiences that traditionally would not have considered themselves as art audiences. In this way we hope to succeed in removing the boundary between audience/ participants encouraging all forms of creative expression from story-telling, improvisation and interactive theatre.
Within this remit we have adopted an unusual outreach programme encouraging the creation of a number of cultural bodies in nearby villages where New Hermopolis acts a collective focus, a hub and incubator to give guidance, support and insure their continued growth.
Various avenues are available for youth to demonstrate and showcase their work to local communities. There are also plans in the future to develop a roaming cultural festival through the local villages. Competitions featuring poetry, essays, design, and music are also planned to be held periodically, teaching youth that art production can yield reward and help us in identifying truly talented local artists. By offering these public outlets for voicing of opinions, we hope to encourage discussion of belief, tolerance and instil a sense of pride and ownership of one’s own heritage.
