Improving Girls’ Lives in Egypt: A Decade of ProgressThis report provides an overview of CEDPA’s work in Egypt from 1994–2004, detailing the evolution and impact of program activities funded by USAID/Egypt. The report describes the work of CEDPA and its partner organizations to improve the lives of girls and young women throughout Egypt. Over the past decade, CEDPA/Egypt has expanded its program from five to 21 governorates and has worked with some 400 Egyptian nongovernmental organizations and community development associations. Nearly 77,000 girls and young women completed the New Horizons program, a nonformal life skills education program, and more than 17,000 boys and young men participated in the New Visions Program. Other program elements included advocacy for gender equity, community education to broaden the life options for girls, initiatives to eradicate female genital mutilation and leadership development for youth.
