Our Vision: A vibrant civil society that can effectively mobilize resources and utilize capacities to promote rights-based sustainable development. Our Mission: Reducing poverty in the Egyptian and Arab communities through empowering people politically, economically, and providing access to integrated development rights.
Youth Empowerment Project funded by USAID and implemented by Relief International, IDSC and other partners, will provide youth with the skills necessary to effectively communicate with and contribute to their communities, as well as the ability to assume leadership at a local level. In addition, the YEP program will provide youth with problem solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills necessary to take the lead in addressing challenges hindering the democratic process in their specific localities. Finally, the project will also establish six youth centers in six different governorates to serve as political awareness academies and create an on-line portal in which interactive training curricula pertaining to issues tackled during the project are shared. Promote Communication Between Workers and Business Owners funded by MEPI aimed to promote Egyptian workers rights and civic engagement by empowering Trade Union Committees. Through this project IDSC raised the awareness of 1000 workers on economic, social and political rights.
IDSC will act as an open source of information for the network members especially in the areas of IDSC experience (including. labor market, employment, civic education, youth political participation). Also IDSC has 6 field offices located all over Egypt which can be available for any member along with a grass root database of more than 6000 young youth located in these field offices.
Through joining ALF network, IDSC is seeking to increase its access to national and international NGOs with similar mission and objectives , in order to exchange experience and to cultivate multicultural partnerships. Also IDSC would like to share best practices in Egypt and specifically with IDSC implemented projects.
