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.
