The UNICEF Representative in Egypt Jeremy Hopkins hailed Egypt’s 2030 vision, especially with regard to youth education, entrepreneurship, and employment.
This came in a statement by Hopkins during the participation of UNICEF in a series of workshops organized by the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS) as part of the “Meshwary” program.
“Meshwary’ is a key program at the Ministry of Youth and Sports and a great example of a long-term partnership between UNICEF and the Ministry. It is a pioneering program established in 2008 to empower the youths’ potentials supported by public and private stakeholders,” Hopkins explained.
On his part, Minister of Youth and Sports Dr. Ashraf Sobhy confirmed the state’s continued efforts to support the youth and have them qualified in all fields, stressing that all tools have been made available for the attendees to realize sustainable development that conforms to Egypt’s vision for 2030 with regard to youth education, entrepreneurship and employment.
Earlier, the UNICEF representatives confirmed that the “Meshwary” program works hand in hand with all stakeholders to support national efforts in empowering young people, highlighting that this also comes in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
Lately, UNICEF and a leading German insurance company operating in Egypt have renewed their partnership agreement, whereby the German company will contribute over the next three years to support the "Meshwary" program as well as the mechanisms that ensure social protection for the most deprived children.
The company's partnership with UNICEF dates back to 2019 through the "I Deserve a Chance: I Will Learn" initiative which aimed at supporting every child's right to learn.
