The goal of the project is to promote social participation and achieve gender equity by facilitating access to public services through dialogue between health service providers and recipients. It aims to engage male and female youth as well as People with Disabilities (PwD) in the local decision-making process. CARE Egypt is focused on increasing the impact of youth in service provision to improve overall health outcomes. To achieve this, the project will utilize knowledge and materials from official bodies such as research centers, ministries, and relevant authorities.
The project will be implemented in Assiut and Sohag with a specific focus on enhancing sexual and reproductive health services. It will employ a social accountability methodology and a participatory approach, using tools like the gender-responsive Citizen’s Charter that is inclusive of PWD. Gender equity will be promoted throughout the interventions, incorporating the gender integration and mainstreaming index based on the gender equality framework (Agency, Relationship, and Structures). Stakeholders and power imbalances will be analyzed to bridge gaps and address gender imbalances within relationships.
The methodology aims to develop a concise document in consultation with health service providers and recipients. This document will outline service evaluation criteria and methods, providing citizens with necessary information about the services provided by governmental bodies. Additionally, it will regulate communication channels between service recipients and providers, seeking their opinions on service quality and methods of improvement. The project will also establish a grievance system to build trust between the parties involved and involve Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), youth groups, and service providers in its implementation.
The main goal of the project is:
Strengthening the social engagement of male/female youth and achieving gender equality for the services offered by the health units by supporting the channels of dialogue between service providers and recipients; to facilitate the reach of general services to the marginalized groups, particularly young men and women and PWDs, as well as their integration in decision-making.
The three outcomes of the project are:
1. Organized civil and youth society that is well-informed and has the ability to engage with influencers in decision-making formally and informally.
2. Efficient mechanisms for engagement in decision-making between service providers and recipients (particularly male and female youth and PWDs)
3. Decision-makers more responsive to the needs of male/female youth and PWDs, and subject to the principles of accountability and transparency
