The Enabling Young People’s Civic Participation in Egypt project mobilized young people from ten governorates to play an active role in the civic life of their communities. Over its two-year lifespan, the project equipped participants with skills in democratic participation through its youth leadership camps, and provided them with guidance and support as they returned to their villages to undertake community improvement projects. In addition, the project established governorate-level networks of young leaders, who, together with the larger community, sought to create a platform for youth on the local level. Such networks were successful in all ten governorates and continue to function today.
