LOGISTICS/EVENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES to UNFPA EGYPT COUNTRY OFFICE

The UNFPA CO in partnership with national partners (i.e. Ministry of Youth and Sports, National Population Council, Assiut University, National Council for Women and others) are organizing nation-wide outreach campaigns similar to previous ones (Population Awareness Bus, Crossing Egypt Challenge and others) which some of them last for a duration of 10- 15 Days covering different Governorates of Egypt (exact governorates to be determined). These campaigns follow UNFPA Egypt Country Office direction which is promoting the use of innovative and youth-led activities to raise awareness and rally young people around the key strategic goals of ending unmet need for family planning, ending all forms of gender based violence and harmful practices (FGM and GBV) and ending all preventable maternal deaths.
To ensure that Egypt’s young population reap development gains with the demographic window of opportunity, the responsibility to create spaces for young people to express themselves, enhance their knowledge and use art for social change lies on all of us. As a result, UNFPA CO would organize campaigns that would captures the biggest number of young people especially young women utilizing unconventional entrainment education modes such as arts and songs for social change on population and gender issues.
These campaigns contribute to advancing youth development, Egypt’s Sustainable Development Strategy “Vision 2030”, Egypt’s National Population Strategy and engaging in dialogues around family planning, FGM, child marriage, civic engagement and social cohesion. Particular focus will be placed at the critical role young people across Egypt vis-à-vis population growth and abandoning harmful practices of FGM and early marriage and civic engagement for development. Planned activities in governorates usually take the form of a public event for young people, women and children with a number of edutainment activities (theatre performances, bands performances and educational events), awareness raising activities (i.e. peer education, visits to youth centers and spaces) and public high-level events taking place in governorates on the move.
