Introduction

This directory includes nearly 50 organisations that fund youth development work in Egypt.  A similar directory has been developed for Palestine. Work on both directories has been done in parallel. The objective of these two directories is to facilitate the search for funding for those who work on youth development in Egypt and Palestine.

The directory consists of three sections. The first section lists all the organisations described in detail in the directory. The second part is the directory itself. Each organisation involved in funding youth development in Egypt is listed on a separate page. Organisations are listed alphabetically. The last part of the directory is a list of all organisations contacted for the directory with a brief note on their responses.

The table of information for each organisation listed in the directory includes the contact details (address, telephone, fax, email and website), contact person and position, geographical areas of work of the organisation in MENA, the age of the youth target group, the field of work of the organisation and the type of activities they do. Information about the type and size of grant is also mentioned.

While we have tried to collect as much information as possible, this directory should not be considered a comprehensive list. The directory was developed by contacting a long list of funding agencies and NGOs active in Egypt. Most organisations were contacted through email with follow-up contacts made by email and phone. While most organisations provided helpful responses, we were not able to secure replies from a number of organisations. The information in the directory is based solely on the information provided by responding organisations and data collected from the internet. Where information is missing in the different entries, it has not been provided/available. Given the large amount of data collected, we hope you will forgive us for any errors made in the entries.  We welcome corrections if you find any major errors.  Please bear in mind that the information for this directory was mostly collected in the first half of 2005 and so may need updating. For corrections or updates, please email Ahmad Abu Shakra abushakra@almoultaqa.com

We would like to thank all the organisations that cooperated in providing the information included in this directory and we hope that youth organisations, youth workers and youth advocates will find it a useful resource.
