And to further extend deep gratitude and respect for all exerted efforts, activities and support presented to MIHC Group, wishing him all success in his new post . CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE I am delighted to welcome you to MIHC’s 2014 Annual Report, and very pleased to report a year of outstanding performance building on our strong performances in both 2012 and 2013. Despite the unprecedented economic challenges and political changes Egypt has faced the last year, 2014 was another successful year for MIHC, sustaining our strong financial performance over the past years. We build our strategy in the previous years upon our extreme confidence in the strength of the Egyptian economy and the wisdom of Egyptian people, and this confidence increased when we all witnessed how the Egyptian people supported the great decision of our leader Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to start the new Suez Canal Project which we believe it will be a giant engine for the Egyptian economy for many years to come. Group performance The strong performance we have achieved in 2014 demonstrated the soundness of the strategy that we followed in recent years and was the result of a great deal of hard work across the group – focusing on our customers, growing the business and driving cost and capital efficiency. In non-life insurance, Misr Insurance Company (MIC) has achieved a net profit of EGP 651.3 million compared to EGP 550.7 million in FY 2013 with a growth ratio of 18.3 %. In the meanwhile MIC has succeeded to obtain a market share of 60%. In terms of Premium income, MIC achieved a Gross Written Premium of EGP 4628.5 million, compared to EGP 4340.6 million in 2013; an increase of 6.6 %, while its investment increased from EGP 12767.9 million in 2013 to reach EGP 13811.4 million this year., On the other hand, life insurance represented through Misr Life Insurance Company (MILC) has represented a remarkable performance this year; its net profit increased 258 % to reach EGP 253.8 million. the gross premium increased by 20.5% to reach EGP 2256.4 million compared to EGP 1873.3 million in the previous year and this rapid growth of the company gross premium demonstrate the quality of the company products and its ability to satisfy its client’s needs. In the meanwhile its investments increased by 11.6% to reach EGP 16598.8 million, compared to EGP 14873 million in 2013. In Real-estate, the strong performance of Misr Real Estate Asset (MREA) once again demonstrated the soundness of the strategic decision taken on 2007 to establish a separate, specialized entity to manage the real-state of the group. MREA’s activity revenues increased considerably this year by 49% to reach EGP 270.7 million versus EGP 181.7 million in the previous year. The net profit of (MREA) has increased by 33.5 % to reach EGP 112.6 million compared to EGP 84.3 million in FY 2013. Future plans We will continue our endeavor effort to regain the credit rating of our subsidiaries. We will maintain our focus and discipline in the implementation of our strategy, to profitably meet our customers’ changing needs. We will continue to drive our commitment not only to supporting our customers, but also to the well-being of our community. We will support our subsidiaries to contribute in the implementation of the new Suez Canal Project through funding and providing all the insurance covers the project will need. In the past three years we have succeeded in significantly strengthening our Group capital position, making us one of the best-capitalised insurers in the region and I am confident we could not achieve this without the support of the ministry of investment, and I would like to seize this opportunity to thank H.E. Mr. Ashraf Salman Minister of Investment, for his sincere support to MIHC’s plans. Looking at the performance of our group, our strategy, the quality of our people and above all the political and economic stability we enjoy now after the election of our Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, I'm extremely confident about the future of our business and our capabilities to continue to deliver profitable growth and sustainable value for our shareholders. We have emerged from the most extraordinary economic and political circumstances Egypt faced in the past few years as one of the strongest insurance group in the region and I believe we could not do that without the immense contribution and dedicated efforts of our employees, in MIHC and subsidiaries, and I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest thanks to every one of them.

  • Approaches and Lessons for Enhancing Walkability in Cities: a Landscape Conceptual Solution for Talaat Harb Street, Cairo
    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 2 No. 6 June 2014 Approaches and Lessons for enhancing walkability in cities: a Landscape Conceptual Solution for Talaat Harb Street, Cairo By Mohammad H. Refaat Nezar A. Kafafy Ass. Prof Lecturer Department of Urban Design Department of Urban Design Faculty of Urban & Regional Planning Faculty of Urban & Regional Planning Cairo University Cairo University Abstract: Walkability is a measure of how friendly an area is to walking. Walkability has many health, environmental, and economic benefits. Factors influencing walkability include the presence or absence and quality of footpaths, sidewalks or other pedestrian right-of-ways, traffic and road conditions, land use patterns, building accessibility, and safety, among others. Increased walkability has proven to have many other individual and community health benefits, such as opportunities for increased social interaction, an increase in the average number of friends and associates where people live, reduced crime (with more people walking and watching over neighbourhoods, open space and main streets), increased sense of pride, and increased volunteerism. One of most important benefits of walkability is the decrease of the automobile footprint in the community. Carbon emissions can be reduced if more people choose to walk rather than drive. Walkability has also been found to have many economic benefits, including accessibility, cost savings both to individuals and to the public, increased efficiency of land use, increased liveability, economic benefits from improved public health, and economic development, among others. In this research we shall deal with the various concepts and theories of the walkability phenomena. In the second part of the research we shall demonstrate the various successful examples worldwide in transforming a high density street within the city to a walkable street.

Alors que les relations entre citoyens et autorités étatiques ont été contestées, modifiées, puis repoussées dans une direction réactionnaire, comment les relations de genre ont-elles été contestées depuis 2011 ? Quels nouveaux imaginaires, quels nouveaux rôles et identités ont été revendiqués ? Quelles mobilisations se sont construites face à l’essor saisissant des violences sexistes dans l’espace public ? Quatre ans après le début de la période révolutionnaire, ce numéro d’Égypte/Monde arabe explore les nouvelles luttes liées au genre en Égypte au prisme de la sociologie, l’anthropologie et la science politique.

  • Downtown Cairo
    448 Urban Regeneration and Sustainability URBAN REGENERATION OF PUBLIC SPACE – AL-ALFI STREET – DOWNTOWN CAIRO S. ATTIA, Z. SHAFIK, A. EL HALAFAWY & H.A. KHALIL Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, Egypt. ABSTRACT Urban regeneration has been an accepted strategy for reviving city centers around the globe in Western Developed settings and in developing cities for decades. In Cairo, post January 25th Revolution, the Egyptian government sought an approach to upgrade several sites in downtown classical Cairo, to set new conditions for use of public space, to redistribute the power of authority and re-define the rules for the claim of public space of the city. The Cairo Governorate officially launched many projects within the same period; mainly focusing on refurbishing squares and streets, facades face lifting, control- ling vendors’ trespassing and regulating car parking space among other regulations within Downtown area. However, having accepted and acknowledged the governmental intentions of the regeneration projects a question poses itself as to ‘How the community perceives and cherishes those initiatives?’ More important questions are raised regarding the regeneration of Al Alfi Street, the case study that addresses the governmental attempt in down town Cairo in 2015. It brings to light the dynamics enacted between different stakeholders. A research is conducted by adopting participant observations, surveys, questionnaires, and interviews with the local community and different stakeholders to understand their perception and appreciation to the ‘2015’ urban regeneration attempt. The findings of the paper set the urban regeneration principles in a discussion aiming at assessing the stakeholders’ involvement versus their goals and measuring their satisfaction with the outcome of the project, while still posing the ques- tion of the meaning of urban regeneration to the local community and to alternative scenarios that could yield more successful outcomes.

Tucker , Ph.D. ABSTRACT On January 25, Egyptian protesters infamously toppled the Mubarak regime in a period of eighteen days. Similar to experiences of other Egyptian historical nationalist and revolutionary experiences, Egyptian women played a full role in the eighteen day Jan 25th Revolution. However, after the toppling of Mubarak, women’s burden of representation and upholding society’s civil and moral boundaries has made their bodies and movements policed, physically and symbolically. Women (imagined and real) become the sites of constructions of categories such as "nation" "state" and "citizenship" during the uprising and in the reconstruction of a new Egypt. The process of transformation and simultaneous reproduction of gender through symbols, discourse, and meaning have mirrored the changes seen in the revolutionary process of restructuring the state and attempts to transform old modes of powers and social inequalities. By examining debates and charged discourses on women's roles and rights in society rights, this paper will reflect the various visions of the ideal Egyptian nation as well as the changing realities in a post-revolutionary Egypt.
