As part of the Women’s Empowerment Project in rural Egypt, implemented in cooperation with Organic Egypt, the August monthly meeting with field facilitators was held to strengthen monitoring, accountability, and professional capacity across the project.

During the meeting, facilitators were trained on how to properly complete surveys that will accompany women’s awareness sessions. These surveys will also help track the outcomes of the loan box initiative, ensuring transparency and clear measurement of financial activities.

The session also focused on profiling women participants to better match them with suitable vocational training opportunities. This process supports aligning women’s skills, interests, and local market needs with practical livelihood options such as sewing, cooking, soap-making, poultry farming, and childcare.

Introducing the surveys marks an important step toward consistent data collection, progress tracking, and building a reliable database for accurate reporting. To further support quality and accountability, facilitators were provided with a newly developed policy document outlining clear standards and responsibilities to ensure transparent and professional implementation.
