European Union supports Egypt in collaboration with UNICEF to expand educational opportunities and enforce child protection systems

The European Union (EU) and the Government of Egypt (GoE), in collaboration with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) launched on 24 October 2016 the five-year programme 'Expanding Access to Education and Protection for at Risk Children in Egypt'.

The programme’s budget amounts to a total of 36 million Euro- out of which the EU has contributed 30 million Euro- to increase the access to education of the most vulnerable and socially excluded children and to strengthen child protection in up to 15 selected Egyptian governorates.
