Project title: Umayyad Route 

Country: EGYPT, TUNISIA, LEBANON, JORDAN, SPAIN, ITALY, PORTUGAL

Detailed description of the project:

The multilateral cross-border cooperation “Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme” is part of the new European Neighbourhood Policy and of its financing instrument (ENPI) for the 2007-2013 period: it includes the European Union and partner countries’ regions placed along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

At the Mediterranean level, tourism has often led many countries and regions to develop the industry in a competitive way rather than in a cooperative manner. For obvious climatic reasons but also due to the role played by tour operators, Mediterranean tourism destinations have based their growth essentially on a “sun and sea” vision and developed strategies aimed at maximizing short-term profits instead of addressing the needs and expectations of customers and residents. In this sense, there is a real need to adopt and introduce new consumer models translated into environmentally friendly tourism products, respecting natural resources and diversifying the seasonal nature of tourism demand. UMAYYAD contributes to this objective by promoting sustainable tourism based on the synergies derived from the design of a cross-border itinerary between 6 countries sharing a common history and cultural background.

Empowering Women for Political Affairs (EWPA) is a Project implemented by AID-MENA in Egypt in order to have a positive effect on the state of women in Egypt, particularly in terms of political representation and capacity and create an awareness of the importance of female inclusion in Egyptian politics.

This project has been designed to specifically enhance the capacity of women to engage in politics within Egypt, from political knowledge and awareness to specific skills relating to political or politicized roles such as political office or advocacy.

The first task was concerned with the legal status of women in Egypt as detailed within the current constitution, in which they applied their research skills to look into the law, and how it works and they provide suggestions on how it may be revised to better suit Egyptian women. The second task will be concerned with women’s social status and visibility in the public sphere, for which they organised, advertised and held an event featuring a short film on the social status/visibility of women followed by an open discussion of the topic. Each task had a strong online/social media presence so that the tasks and their outcomes reached a wider audience.
