Recommendations For Policy Directions Or Interventions Needed To Incorporate Human Rights In The Fgm/C Combating Strategy In Egypt, Heba Abdel-Hady
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The integrated development approach incorporating the socio-cultural perspective has been used in strategies and plans to combat Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in Egypt. The human rights based approach has been used to a much lesser extent. Several studies conducted recommended that it would not be appropriate to use the human rights based approach to tackle a culturally sensitive issue like FGM/C. This thesis research conducted in-depth qualitative interviewing to find recommendations for ways to introduce the human rights based approach to combat FGM/C in Egypt.
Economic Development And Financial Liberalization: The Case Of Egypt And China, Yasmin Ahmed Allam
Economic Development And Financial Liberalization: The Case Of Egypt And China, Yasmin Ahmed Allam
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The potential of utilizing the liberalization of financial services for Egypt is great, however it is not yet realized. Egypt has made commitments under the OATS to liberalize its financial sector and therefore it has started its reform program which has been somewhat successful but it still needs deeper institutional reform. Egypt's banking system is still facing some problems as the country's largest banks are still state-owned and controlled, in addition to their suffering from cultural a technical limitations and bad loans. This paper aims to clarify that Egypt's financial liberalization will have a positive effect on economic development. This …

A Study Of The Impact Of The Government's Policies And Regulations On Micro And Small Enterprises In Egypt, Zeinab Awad
Archived Theses and Dissertations
Since the mid - 1970s the promotion of private sector development and free trade has been identified by the Egyptian government, academics and the international development community as the most ideal path for achieving sustainable development, growth and prosperity. This in turn has increased awareness of the importance of Micro and Small Enterprises (M/SEs), and their potential as one of the most viable engines for growth. As a consequence, providing M/SEs with incentives and removing the obstacles that inhibit their growth have been identified among the priority areas for government intervention. This thesis argues that in spite of the extensive …

Wife Battering In Contemporary Cairo: An Exploratory Study In Rights And Perceptions, Iman Mohamed Eissa
Wife Battering In Contemporary Cairo: An Exploratory Study In Rights And Perceptions, Iman Mohamed Eissa
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The universal phenomenon of wife battering has calamitous consequences on the battered woman, usurping her security, human agency and autonomy, thus relegating her to a secondary status citizen, incapable of contributing to the community's development. Research on wife battering in Egypt is very limited. The goal of this thesis is to explore battered women's lives in contemporary Cairo, focusing on battered wives' perceptions of abuse in relation to discrimination against women in Egypt and women's citizenship rights within the Egyptian state. This study was conducted using a qualitative research methodology. Ten in depth, semi-structured interviews were carried out with battered …

The International Conference On Population And Development: The Media & Population, Amina El Afifi
Archived Theses and Dissertations
This thesis compares and contrasts the portrayal of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) as presented by Egyptian intellectuals, using the newspapers as a medium, and the message disseminated by the ICPD. The primary objective of the thesis is to assess the validity of the concerns of some of the arguments put forth by the Egyptian intellectuals by reference to an analytical discussion of these issues within a global debate as well as concurrent debates within Egypt. Locating these concerns in both the Egyptian and global contexts will identify the nature of the controversy and enable the thesis …
The Wisdom Of Empowerment Through Participation: A Case Study Of The Garbage Collectors Of Greater Cairo, Maha Mohamed Ghazi El Dahan
The Wisdom Of Empowerment Through Participation: A Case Study Of The Garbage Collectors Of Greater Cairo, Maha Mohamed Ghazi El Dahan
Archived Theses and Dissertations
Participatory development has become the new buzzword in development and almost every project boasts of using participatory methods and aiming at empowerment. There have been a lot of criticisms directed against the approach though and most importantly, a criticism that will be focused on in this thesis is that which points to the fact that such methods often ignore the wider political context in which a project is taking place. Thus, an exploration of how the concept of empowerment through participation operates within an authoritarian political context will constitute a major concern throughout the thesis. This thesis concentrates on the …

Addressing Staff Concerns In Changing Times: Supporting The Institution's Greatest Asset, Erika Linke
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The strategic plan at Carnegie Mellon University highlights the important contributions that staff members make to the organization. Concomitantly the university encourages the growth of a diverse campus community and stresses the important of developing a culture of respect. The university libraries have embraced these two threads – recognizing the important contributions made by staff and the desirability of a diverse work force. This paper discusses the importance of these two threads and highlights the various steps taken to acknowledge staff contributions and to create a culture of respect.

Reaching All Students: Teaching Information Seeking Skills Online (Poster), Jay Bhatt, John Meyer, Rafael Sidi
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
A management issue of increasing importance is the need to provide distance learners the same library services as students who take courses on-site. Remote access to library-provided electronic resources has gone a long way to equalizing access for these students and for others who, because of work or family commitments, find coming to the library difficult. However, we have found that just making the resources available is insufficient; we must also teach the students how to use them effectively. The Drexel Libraries have assumed responsibility for information literacy instruction and have an extensive on-campus instruction program. The logical way too …

Drexel University, The University Of Maryland, And Their Libraries’ Experiences Collaborating With Various Research Programs, Jay Bhatt, John Meyer, Rafael Sidi
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Last year, researchers and librarians at both Drexel University and the University of Maryland initiated similar collaborative projects in their respective institutions to contribute to the development of life-long learning skills among the select participants. One joint finding was the importance of linking advances in knowledge, not just as hypothetical learning that benefits an elite few, but rather for the advancement of our society as a whole. Drexel University has two NSF-supported programs, Research Experience for Teachers (RET) and the Research Experience for Undergraduates Site (REU) DREAM (Drexel Research Experience in Advanced Materials). RET’s primary goal is to provide experiential …

Adapting To Changing User Expectations, Jean Poland
Adapting To Changing User Expectations, Jean Poland
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Results of user surveys indicate that science and technology library user needs differ from those of humanists and social scientists and are changing rapidly. Science and technology libraries are taking the lead in adapting the public services model accordingly. Science and technology library users are most interested in easy-to-use access tools and library Web sites that enable them to find information on their own as well as easy access to materials from home and office. Their expectations are based on the speed of access provided by the Web and through search engines like Google. As fewer users come to the …
