Entrust was contracted by Aramex, a private sector multinational courier company, Twasul, an Egyptian NGO, and Ruwwad, a Jordanian non-profit organization, which have joined forces to build a community development initiative in Izzbet Kheiralla, one of the large informal settlements in Cairo. The objective of the assignment is to provide a comprehensive community profile for the households located in the neighborhood, conduct an impact assessment study of earlier educational initiatives, and identify potential and hidden assets in the communities and areas for future interventions to develop Izzbeit Kairalla. In this context, Entrust had conducted a community profile study that shows the demographic characteristics of the population, local environment, social and economic infrastructures, cultural aspects and community relations. For the community profiling, the study had adopted a stratified multi-stage random sampling technique that has been undertaken along the household & the individual levels. Entrust also undertook an impact assessment study to provide a more comprehensive understanding and fuller appreciation of the school -Khatwat’s impact. |
