National Citizenship Initiative

UN Women continues to support a major programme that has been adopted by the Government of Egypt and lead by the National Council for Women (NCW). Through the National Citizenship Initiative (currently funded by the European Union), marginalized women have access to national identification cards that enable them to open a bank account, participate in elections and access vital governmental services.
