An Assessment Of Grass Roots Participation In The Development Of Egypt, Saad Eddin Ibrahim, Amani Kandil, Moheb Zaki, Nagah Hassan

Faculty Books

This study aims to examine the extent and effectiveness of grassroots participation in Egyptian private voluntary organizations (PVOs). In addition, it traces the historical development of PVOs in Egypt and the laws that have been governing their activities. The authors deduce from this study that legal restrictions and bureaucratic impediments―not financial constraints―are the main obstacles that limit the activities of PVOs, and come up with specific recommendations to enhance grassroots participation in Egyptian society.

Seventy Years Of Sociology In Egypt, Ahmed Zayed Jan 1996

Seventy Years Of Sociology In Egypt, Ahmed Zayed

Faculty Book Chapters

Tue fundamental determinant of how societies cope with challenges is ultimately found in their human resource base.
