Over the past seven years, the Cairo Office's Community Development
portfolio, which includes work in community youth development (CYD), has
supported a specific initiative promoting the integration of youth in
community development processes. However, a decision has recently been
taken to phase out our work in the field of community development in the
Middle East and North Africa Region. As a result, Ford is no longer able
to consider new proposals in this field.
-
As part of its commitment to a responsible transition out of the field,
Ford has supported several major initiatives to strengthen CYD work in
the region. See Arab Education Forum 'Safar' mobility fund (p. 6) and
Save the Children - Naseej Programme (p. 37)

The Cairo Office remains committed to addressing the priorities and
concerns of youth across the five fields in which it continues to work
and welcomes proposals which seek to engage youth as active players in
the above fields |
