Egypt’s National Council for Women (NCW), via its Women’s Complaints Office, held a three-day specialized training workshop in partnership with the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and the Egyptian Center for Public Opinion Research (Baseera).
The workshop, titled “Skills in Designing and Measuring the Impact of Community Interventions and Principles of Case Management,” targeted NCW staff from across Egypt’s governorates, equipping them with advanced tools for project evaluation, community engagement, and evidence-based case management.
Gender Equity
The program, inaugurated by Amal Abdel Moneim, Director of the Women’s Complaints Office, and Maria Tarancón, representative of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), sought to empower field personnel to address gender-based challenges with greater technical and analytical capacity.
Participants enrolled in group work, simulations, and live presentations to consolidate theoretical knowledge with hands-on application—an approach aimed at strengthening the NCW’s provincial units in their efforts to serve women more efficiently and equitably.
Cross-Sectoral Collaboration
The training was supervised by Dr. Abdel Hamid El-Sharawi, Professor of Biostatistics and Demography at Cairo University and a senior advisor in Egypt’s Ministry of Social Solidarity. His involvement brought academic rigor and statistical integrity to the workshop, ensuring alignment with international best practices in public sector evaluation.
AECID–NCW Partnership
The initiative is part of an expanding portfolio of cooperation between Egypt and Spain’s official development agency, AECID, which has increasingly prioritized gender equity, institutional reform, and social inclusion in its bilateral programs.
“This training embodies AECID’s commitment to advancing gender justice through capacity-building,” said Tarancón. “It’s about enabling institutions to deliver change where it’s needed most—at the community level.”
