Upon directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, the World Youth Forum (WYF) developed a new plan and launched a societal dialogue.

Sisi assigned the administration of the WYF and the concerned authorities and institutions to create an effective dialogue platform between the state and its youth and local and international civil society institutions.

Accordingly, the WYF's administration commissioned Noha Talaat, a member of the National Council for Human Rights and an ambassador for A Decent Life, in partnership with the Foundation for A Decent Life, to develop a plan to implement the President’s recommendation.

"The central operations room of the national project, A Decent Life, was honored to host the first two meetings, in the presence of Talaat Abdel Qawi, President of the General Union of Societies and a member of Parliament, and a group of representatives of all regional unions and representatives of some civil society institutions," a statement read.

During the meeting, the attendees discussed various opportunities to maximize the benefit from the approval of Sisi celebrates 2022 as the year of civil society.

The WYF is an annual global event held in Sharm El-Sheikh in South Sinai, under the auspices of President Sisi. The forum was launched in three editions in the past years 2017, 2018, and 2019.

The forum aims to bring together the world's youth in order to promote dialogue and discuss development issues, and to send a message of peace and prosperity from Egypt to the world.
