CAIRO - 18 October 2021: As part of an ongoing partnership between GFF and UNFPA Egypt, a VIP guest list of Egyptian Ministers arrived at El Gouna City for a special event to launch a new initiative titled Noura on October 17.
Looking to 'invest in girls in Egypt', the initiative looks to provide support for disenfranchised young women across Egypt, and a whole host of guests came out in support, including Naguib Sawiris, representative of the National Council of Women and several Egypt-based foreign ambassadors.
The initiative comes under the umbrella of The Girls Assets Framework, a programme with the aim of providing guidance to design and implement girl-centered programmes focused on reaching the most marginalized adolescent girls.
It is a holistic and comprehensive programme that targets households, communities as well as services that surround adolescent girls.
