by Maat in cooperation with Hanns Seidel Foundation. It seeks to improve
the conditions of local administration in Egypt via developing capacity

initiatives under decentralization. 35 young female actors from
non-governmental organizations, government agencies, media institutions,
and student unions in Greater Cairo, Beni Suef, El Gharbia, Alexandria,
participated in the training camp, when the participation of the Port
Said candidates was postponed to the next camp due to the recent events
in the governorate. The camp aimed to develop the participants' capacity
on related issues to decentralization and how to develop community
initiatives, the training program included three components: The first
component; decentralization, good governance, and local system in Egypt,
The second component; the tools and instruments to observe local
communities' needs and problem tree analysis, The third component;
reasonable shaping, marketing, following up, and evaluation of those
initiatives. The training camp discovered great potentials at the young
women from the local community actors, they only needed to learn new
skills to enable them to express their ideas and insights to solve the
problems in their local communities. During the four days of the
training camp, the participants were able to develop four important
initiatives: The first initiative was developed by the Cairo
governorate's group and aimed to limit the unemployment in Al Darb Al
Ahmer district through traditional industries, The second initiative was
developed by the Red See governorate's group and targeted eliminating
the technological illiteracy of the girls in one of the governorates
villages via overcoming the reasons behind this illiteracy, The third
initiative was developed by Alexandria governorate's group and focused
on removing the garbage in El Manshya district through organizing events
to raise the citizens awareness, The fourth initiative was developed by
El Gharbia governorate's group to remove the garbage in the village of
"Ibiar" via changing the image of the garbage collector at the village
residents. It's worth mentioning that those initiatives were developed
on several stages, the groups made resources and services map for each
community, then gradual detailing for problems in every community along
with evaluating every problem according to a mechanism that they have
been trained on, after that, the group analyzed the most important
problem in accordance with the gradual detailing via drawing a problem
tree, when the problem tree turns into objectives tree, along with
choosing the suitable intervention, proposing the suitable activities,
and setting a schedule, marketing plan, and following up plan. The above
mentioned camp is considered one of four camps that would be
implemented during the next period, when some of the prominent
initiatives would be chosen and displayed before donors, companies,
government agencies, and non-governmental organizations to be adopted
and supported in a grand concourse.
