CAIRO – Egyptian State Minister of Emigration Nabila Makram, during her participation in the 4th edition of the World Youth Forum, visited the exhibition of her ministry in the forum.
The exhibition sheds light on a number of initiatives launched by the ministry to serve the Egyptian expats and face illegal migration.
Makram pointed out to the “survival boat” presidential initiative that aims at raising the awareness on the risks of illegal migration that was launched by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi during World Youth Forum 2019, a statement of the ministry said on Tuesday.
The “survival boats” initiative coincides with the national project of “Decent Life” which contributes to improving the conditions of the citizens in the villages and the needy areas, she added.
The “survival boats” initiative had many positive results, she said.
Makram said that 27 training courses were organised in the governorates and benefited 1,615 breadwinner women, youth and students in addition to 160 training courses for the students of technical education and university graduates.
The ministry co-operated with the National Council of Women to implement 15 awareness campaigns in five governorates targeting 143 villages, she said.
The ministry was keen on using social media and launching awareness campaigns to raise the awareness of illegal migration and give safe alternatives.
