Supporting the implementation of 14 community initiatives within the project “Enhancing the Roles of Non-Governmental Organizations in Sustainable Development and Climate Action” – Sustainable Empowerment:
Within the framework of implementing the activities of the project “Enhancing the Roles of Non-Governmental Organizations in Sustainable Development and Climate Action” - Sustainable Empowerment funded by the European Union, and in partnership with the Misr El Kheir Foundation, the activity of supporting community initiatives was implemented through grassroots associations in the targeted governorates, in accordance with the approved procedural guide for the project.
18 grassroots associations in the governorates of Fayoum - Beni Suef - Luxor - Aswan have submitted proposals for community initiatives in the fields of sustainable development and climate action, based on the results of the environmental, social and economic description study that was implemented in the four targeted governorates.
After completing the screening and technical evaluation stages, and in accordance with the guide criteria (suitability to the project objectives, innovation, participatory methodology, type and size of beneficiaries, and sustainability), 14 community initiatives were selected for implementation at the governorate level.
Partner associations in the four governorates:
1) Badir Association for Sustainable Development - Fayoum
2) Nahdet Beni Suef Foundation - Beni Suef
3) Islamic Charitable Society in Nag ad Dar - Luxor
4) Egyptians Without Borders Foundation for Development - Aswan
The implementation of these initiatives comes within the framework of enhancing the principles of transparency and effective governance, and supporting the vital role of civil society organizations in achieving sustainable development goals and climate action within local communities.
Supporting the Implementation of 14 Community Initiatives under the “Strengthening the Roles of NGOs for Sustainable Development and Climate Action” Project:
In alignment with the objectives of the “Strengthening the Roles of NGOs for Sustainable Development and Climate Action” project, funded by the European Union and implemented in partnership with Misr El Kheir Foundation, fourteen community initiatives have been selected for implementation across four governorates: Fayoum, Beni Suef, Luxor, and Aswan.
This milestone follows a comprehensive process in which 18 grassroots associations submitted proposals grounded in the findings of the Environmental, Social, and Economic Assessment Study conducted in the target areas.
After undergoing stringent screening and technical evaluation—based on criteria including relevance, innovation, participatory design, beneficiary reach, and sustainability—14 initiatives were approved for implementation.
These initiatives will be executed by grassroots associations within their local communities, while partner organizations will oversee implementation and provide technical support to ensure high-quality outcomes.
Supervision will be conducted directly by Misr El Kheir Foundation to ensure compliance with project standards and to optimize the developmental and climate-related impact.
Partner Organizations Across the Four Governorates:
• Bader Association for Sustainable Development – Fayoum
• Nahdet Beni Suef Foundation – Beni Suef
• The Islamic Charity Association in Nag El-Dar – Luxor
• Egyptians Without Borders Foundation for Development – Aswan
The implementation of these initiatives reflects a strong commitment to transparency, accountability, and effective governance, while reinforcing the critical role of civil society organizations in advancing sustainable development and climate action at the local level.
Through these efforts, the Tamkeen Mostadam project continues to strengthen the institutional capacities of NGOs, enabling them to design and deliver impactful, evidence-based interventions that address community priorities and foster long-term sustainability.
