EU for Decent Life (Haya Karima) ¿ Combatting Multidimensional Poverty in Unprivileged Rural Areas of Egypt¿

About this project

The Action seeks to address multidimensional poverty in rural areas in Egypt. In these areas, population is affected simultaneously by different types of hardship: scarcity of water, land and environment degradation, insufficient income, lack of professional skills and economic empowerment, inadequate basic services as healthcare and social protection.Poverty affects 29.7 % of Egyptian population, including 12 million of children. It is particularly acute in rural areas, where more than 70% of the poor population lives.The Action is articulated in two components:    1.    Rural development, food security and climate change resilience, focused on supporting the farmers in improving agriculture and irrigation techniques and rural communities in income generation through employment and skills development opportunities;  2.    Health and social protection, focused on helping the central and local administrations in implementing and expanding health, nutrition and social protection services and offering rural families support in child nurturing.
