# Executive Summary

To support Egypt\'s determination to strengthen access to justice,
enhance family stability, and protect the rights of children, USAID, in
cooperation with the Government of Egypt, established the Family Justice
Project (FJP) and chose Management Sciences for Development, Inc. (MSD),
as its implementing partner. The purpose of the FJP is to enhance access
to justice for families. Specifically, the Project supports the
implementation of Law Number 10 of 2004, pertaining to family court
mediation and works closely with the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and The
National Council for Childhood and Motherhood (NCCM).

During the second quarter of FY2008, the FJP continued to achieve its
objective by supporting both the mediation and NGO components of the
Project. FJP continues to work closely with its partners to complete the
activities outlined in the FY2008 workplan. This quarterly report
continues to track progress against the activities previously elaborated
in that workplan and follows the same format. Some of the highlights for
this quarter include:

-   Completion of skills enhancement trainings for 144 specialists from
    the three Pilot governorates

-   Completion of training for mediators and mediation staff in Sohag,
    Qena and Aswan as part of the nationwide training program

-   Completion of two legal specialist workshop for 39 participants from
    14 Giza NGOs and 79 participants from 10 Minya NGOs in cooperation
    with MOJ and NCCM

-   Award of two additional grants and four extensions, bringing the
    total awarded to more than 1.7 million USD

[]{.mark}

-   Completion of 179 public awareness events for 10,831 participants by
    NGO grantees to promote family stability and support the mediation
    process

-   Visit by Ambassador Khattab, Secretary General of NCCM, to NGO for
    inspection of services, program about achievements, and press
    coverage

-   Completed capacity building activities for NGO grantees in areas of
    legal, financial and programmatic support

-   Completion of significant portion of repairs at El Saaf mediation
    offices

-   Settlement of 2,539 cases by 52 NGO counseling centers

**Task One**

During this quarter, nationwide training for mediation office personnel
continued with the completion of Sohag, Qena, and Aswan, for a total of
285 participants. FJP also completed skills enhancement training for 144
participants as a follow-up to the pilot trainings completed last year.
These trainings were held in Port Said, Minya, and Giza and resulted in
concrete information about additional needs and plans for continued
technical support of the pilot mediation offices.

FJP began and completed most of the required repairs at El Saaf
mediation offices. The repairs will be completed in April. Preparations
for repairs at other locations in Giza and Minya continued with draft
drawings of all Minya locations completed. The MOJ decided to forego
repairs at El Wahat due to its remote location and low case load.

**Task Two**

During this quarter, Task Two awarded two additional grants bringing the
total NGOs receiving funding to 26. An additional four extensions were
signed bringing the total funding to \$1.7 million. NGO grantees
successfully implemented program activities focusing on counseling
services for families, community awareness and education efforts. FJP
provided capacity building training for NGO grantees in key areas
including legal, financial training and program implementation to ensure
quality services and sustainability of activities beyond the life of the
project.

FJP organized follow-up legal training in cooperation with NCCM and MOJ
for NGO partners in both Giza and Minya. The training program included
presentations by MOJ and NCCM personnel and discussed Law 10 and its
application as well as the proposed amendments to the child law.

**Activities planned for next quarter**

In the third quarter of FY2008, FJP will complete mediation training for
offices in Benha, Shebin El Komm, Damietta, and Zagazig. FJP will also
complete two train-the-trainers programs, one for judges and one for
mediators, as well as conducting roundtable discussions for mediators
from the pilot regions. Repairs to rural Giza courts will be completed
and repairs to Minya locations will be underway by the end of next
quarter.

[]{.mark}

Task Two will continue to strengthen the "safety net" for families in
the pilot communities by awarding additional grants and providing
on-going training and technical assistance to new NGO grantees and
follow-up support to those NGOs whose contracts have expired but have
fulfilled their previous grant agreements. FJP will complete the
training methodology and manual to be utilized by NGOs and will conduct
training for NGOs to familiarize them with the messages and methods to
ensure consistent training activities. The community awareness and media
activities will also continue with media events on a regular basis to
emphasize the work of the mediation offices and the NGOs. The media
component will also support NGO grantees to develop and disseminate
messages on family justice to children, youth, parents and community
leaders.

# Task One: Strengthening Capacity to Mediate Family Disputes

During the 2^nd^ quarter of FY2008, the Family Justice Project (FJP)
continued to execute the National Training Plan for mediation office
personnel. Skills enhancement training for the pilot regions was
completed in all three regions. Repairs and upgrades to pilot region
mediation offices are well underway. Most work to the El Saaf mediation
offices was completed during the quarter and will be finalized in April.

Two train-of-trainers (TOT) programs are planned for next quarter, based
on discussions and agreement with the MOJ. The MOJ has requested one
session for family court judges and another for mediators. The MOJ will
nominate the appropriate personnel to attend the training program. Due
to the nationwide training schedule and the follow-up training for the
pilot regions, MOJ requested to have this training in May and June
rather than March, as originally scheduled.

Nationwide mediation training continued with the completion of the last
session for the Assuit mediation offices. Nationwide mediation training
was completed for Sohag with four sessions, Qena with four sessions and
two sessions for Aswan. In total, 285 participants including 13
mediation offices in Assuit, 12 mediation offices in Sohag, 16 mediation
offices in Qena and 5 mediation offices in Aswan completed the training.
The participants included 46 psychological, 84 social, 112 legal and 43
administrative personnel. The training programs included one day of
legal aspects where the participants were introduced to implementation
of Law 10 and were able to discuss related issues with MOJ
representatives. The remaining 3 days focused on mediation techniques
including the steps of mediation, understanding family conflict,
advanced communication skills, and report writing. During the training,
the concept of team building was emphasized by helping participants
understand the role of each of the mediators (i.e. legal, social and
psychological) and how they inter-relate.

![](media/image4.jpeg){width="3.4166666666666665in" height="2.625in"}The
MOJ made a decision to send only specialists to the nationwide training
and exclude administrative personnel who were previously being allowed
to attend. This decision took effect during the final training of the
quarter in Aswan. FJP personnel discussed this issue with MOJ personnel
and encouraged them to send administrative staff to the program since
these employees receive no training and have little understanding of Law
10 and its implication, and lack skills on interviewing family members.
A special one day session to run simultaneously with the nationwide
training program was also recommended to MOJ by FJP personnel to ensure
that these employees can provide the appropriate support for mediators.
However, the MOJ has not yet agreed to this program or to allowing the
administrative personnel to attend the full session as before,
preferring to keep the training specific to the specialists. FJP will
continue to pursue possible avenues for training administrative
personnel. Based on this change, which decreased the number of planned
participants, FJP has updated the national training plan and it is
contained herein as Annex 2.

  ------------ ------------------------ ----------------- --------------- ------------ ------------ ------------

In parallel with the National Training Schedule, FJP in coordination
with the MOJ technical team developed skills enhancement training as a
follow-on to training previously provided for the pilot locations of
Giza, Minya and Port Said. The first of these trainings took place in
Port Said on February 26^th^ with 18 participants, all of whom
previously received mediation skills training. Giza training took place
on March 17^th^ -- 19^th^ with 58 participants and in Minya on March
25^th^ -- 27^th^ with 68 participants completing the program. These
programs were designed to continue providing technical support and
assess the impact of the trainings conducted in 2007 in the Pilot
governorates.

The agenda for the 1-day workshop (See annex 1) included one session on
legal issues where mediators were able to discuss with MOJ
representatives the procedural and legal problems they are facing. The
MOJ representative provided trainees with updates on regulations and
also addressed problem areas and lessons learned, to improve the
effectiveness of family mediation. Trainees also completed a session to
further their mediation skills and learn more about the practical
approach to mediation. The final session included developing
communication skills and team building techniques.

During the training program, the mediation specialists also completed a
qualitative and quantitative assessment of their prior training. In
addition to completing a written assessment, the participants had
break-out brainstorming sessions about how they benefited from the
training, the skills they were able to implement, and the additional
support they needed to be effective. The results of these sessions were
reported in a plenary session for all participants to share their
lessons learned.

*Skills Enhancement Training -- Port Said*

![](media/image5.jpeg){width="3.75in" height="2.375in"}Training reports
for each governorate were compiled and provided to USAID, as well as the
MOJ, who requested the information in order to support the needs of the
mediators. Some of the skills that mediators improved included
clarification of their specific roles, negotiation skills, exercising
neutrality and keeping their personal opinions to themselves, using the
problem tree technique (i.e. getting to the real root of the problem),
enhanced teamwork, better communication skills, and report writing.

Specialists reported a significant increase in the number of visits to
their office and attributed that to increased public awareness through
media outlets, increased trust based on experience with the specialists,
and a general reputation that certain offices move cases quickly. Some
of the obstacles they noted were lack of proper equipment and private
space to hold confidential mediations, manipulation of parties by
lawyers, clients attempting to manipulate facts to influence the
mediator's judgment, and lack of attendance by one of the parties. The
participants requested more contact with the National Council on
Childhood and Motherhood to share updates, more contact with MOJ to
ensure they are executing the law and procedures properly, increased
security at their offices to protect themselves and clients, and
additional training to continue improving their skill level.

## Component 2 - Infrastructure Repairs in Family Courts

Based on the previously conducted assessments and discussions with MOJ
personnel, including Counselor Attawaya, El Saaf was chosen as the first
location for repairs followed by 6^th^ of October. The MOJ has also
requested upgrades to their technical offices located at MOJ
headquarters and an assessment visit is scheduled for early April.

Preparatory work is underway for the 8 Minya locations serving 9 Family
Courts. Early this quarter FJP contracted an A&E firm to survey all of
the Minya locations and prepare drawings of the mediation offices. The
first draft of these drawings have been completed and delivered to FJP.
The FJP Engineer will verify the drawings and complete final versions to
be shared with AOJSII and the MOJ. As soon as the drawings are complete,
FJP will complete timelines, similar to those prepared for the Giza
locations, to share with MOJ and AOJS II, to ensure coordination of
work.

During the 1^st^ quarter FJP, AOJSII and MOJ engineers completed site
visits to all five mediation offices and El Saaf was chosen as the first
location for repairs, followed by 6^th^ of October. The MOJ decided to
forego work at El Wahat due to its remote location and the extremely
small caseload there. FJP developed timelines for each location with
specific activities and completion dates which were shared with AOJSII
and the MOJ. During this quarter repairs for El Saaf began and were
almost complete, with final completion expected in April. Repairs were
delayed due to damaged piping from the second floor which caused leaking
into the area where FJP is upgrading the mediation offices. The upgrades
to the mediation offices provide more working space for employees and
easier access for families to the mediation offices. A private mediation
room will now be available to ensure confidentiality of proceedings.

Preliminary work is underway for the Sixth of October location. This
Family Court building is a relatively new and the need for additional
office space was not necessary, though some upgrades are needed to have
appropriate space for mediation. The drawing, sanitary and electric
layouts, and timeline has been developed and construction work will
begin early in the third quarter. These drawing, timelines, and layout
have been provided to AOJSII and the MOJ.

The media team, in close coordination with the MOJ's Administrative
Services Department, completed the production of signage for the
mediation offices. Three types were developed to accommodate the various
locations (i.e. inside, outside, on walls), all of which have been
delivered to the MOJ who is now distributing those to the offices, along
with the instructional posters. These posters provide a step by step
process for litigants to follow in processing their family law claims.

The media team is working with psychological experts to develop a manual
of key messages for both NGOs and MOJ to utilize in media activities.
This activity will result in a technical manual and specialized training
to ensure that messages to families and children in particular are
focused and responsive to the psychological needs of that group.

The media team is working with "El-Birnamig El-Aam" or General Program
Radio to complete 30 sessions focused on family law issues. The topics
for the programs have been developed and representatives from both the
MOJ and NCCM will participate in the program to answer specific
questions from call in listeners. MOJ and NCCM representatives, along
with the FJP Sr. Legal Expert, are coordinating to ensure that the
content is accurate and typical of family law disputes in Egypt and
properly addresses the solutions, both legally and psychologically.

FJP completed a video shoot in both Minya and Giza with NGOs and their
beneficiaries as part of the documentary being developed on family
counseling centers. This video builds on the original documentary shown
in the first press conference and will be used to educate the media
about mediation and the work of the NGOs. A video shoot was also
completed at the El Saaf court where repairs are currently underway to
the mediation offices to illustrate the before and after progress.

# Task Two: Increasing Access to Information on Family Court Legal Services

During the 2^nd^ quarter of FY2008, Task Two successfully completed the
following activities: 1) signed two new grant agreements with NGOs from
Port Said, 2) completed four extensions of current grantees, 3)

site visit to the USAID project offices located at the National Council
for Childhood and Motherhood, including FJP. During the visit FJP staff
presented activities and accomplishments to date as well as an overview
of services offered by NGO grantees. During the USAID visit, Ambassador
Khattab, Director of NCCM, expressed her satisfaction with the work of
the project, especially the capacity building for NGOs. Ambassador
Khattab noted that the FJP team has established a successful review and
monitoring system that is considered a model for other projects at NCCM.
The Mission Director thanked FJP for their successful efforts and noted
that she is looking forward to field visits to observe first hand the
services offered by the NGO community through FJP grants.

On March 10^th^, Ambassador Khattab of NCCM visited the family
counseling center of the Islamic Charity Society, a partner with the
*New Horizons* NGO. Ambassador Khattab toured the premises and reviewed
the services being provided. A short program was conducted, *Amb.
Khattab reviews NGO files and activities*

highlighting the various activities and achievements of the center,
followed by a song selection from children who attend the center.
Ambassador Khattab provided closing remarks expressing her satisfaction
with the services being provided and the capacity building being
conducted for the NGOs.

![](media/image7.jpeg){width="3.0833333333333335in" height="2.25in"}On
March 13^th^, the *Minya Businessmen Association* and its four partner
NGOs concluded their grant activities with an event held in Minya and
attended by Ambassador Khattab and Mr. Fouad Saad El Din, Minya,
governor and Secretary General of the Governorate. The event included
140 participants from the community, media and representatives of other
Minya NGOs. The event highlighted the accomplishments made through the
grant and the effect of the services on beneficiaries. The event also
served to raise public awareness in the community about the services
offered and their benefits to children and families.

In support of FJP's NGO capacity building activities, Task Two completed
legal specialist workshops for both Giza and Minya grantees. Thirty nine
participants completed the one-day workshop for Giza NGOs which was held
on January 13, 2008, at the NCCM premises. Ambassador Sadr of NCCM,
Margaret Groarke of USAID and Teresa Cannady, FJP COP provided opening
remarks. This program was a follow-up to the program held in November
during which NGOs requested additional information and training on both
Law 10 and the proposed amendments to the child law. Representatives
from both NCCM and the MOJ provided sessions on these topics, discussing
openly with participants their concerns and suggestions to improve the
system.

This legal workshop was repeated in Minya on February 12, with 79
participants from 10 Minya grantees, sub-grantees and partners
completing the program. One of the major outcomes from these events was
that participants provided recommendations on the amendments to the
child laws, which were compiled by FJP and provided to NCCM for further
discussion and action by the amendment committee. At least one of the
suggestions made regarding medical check-ups prior to marriage was
incorporated by the committee into the proposed amendments.

Additional capacity building activities included a financial orientation
workshop for four Minya NGOs on February 14. It was attended by
accountants, financial managers and NGO treasurers. FJP also completed
an orientation workshop at NCCM for recent Giza NGO grantees; *Society
of Local Community Development at Warak Al Hadar* and *Azhar Al Karma
Foundation*. An orientation workshop was completed for 22 participants
of 3 Port Said grantees on March 5th. These workshops outlined

On March 10^th^, 2008 a media event at the *Islamic Charity NGO*, a
sub-grantee of *New Horizons* was held. Ambassador Khattab of NCCM and a
representative from the Governors office in Giza attended and spoke at
the event. A short documentary film about mediation centers in the
governorate of Giza was presented, followed by presentations from NGO
representatives who provided highlights and accomplishments of the NGO,
as well as testimonials from clients. Also, a press conference was held
to inform the media about family law issues and the work of the NGOs.
Guests were encouraged to visit the facilities and observe the daily
activities of the NGO. The event was later aired on two local television
channels after the evening news.

During this quarter the media team worked closely with Ms. Amany El
Sayaad, Head of the Women Programs at "El Bernamig El Aam" (General
Program), a local radio station. The episodes and time slots are being
finalized with concepts already completed. Also, FJP continues to
coordinate with Alam Semsem (Sesame Street) to develop 12 segments for
children on handling family disputes. Their production cycles operate on
a yearly basis; therefore these segments are being developed for the
next cycle of programming set for 2009.

FJP's media team completed site visits to Giza and Minya NGOs throughout
the quarter to document and film activities for a short video. The video
depicts the work being completed by NGOs in the community to provide
public awareness and counseling centers. The NGOs helped organize visits
to the counseling centers and NGO offices, as well as interviews with
beneficiaries and clients. The media team visited rural villages which
are benefiting from FJP sponsored NGO activities. The first screening of
this video was held during the media event previously described herein
at a local NGO partner in Giza. FJP will continue to develop the video
with future activities and accomplishments to enlighten both the public
and media about family law issues and responses.
