Bclql,l:(l.S, SenbeUawlf1e, lJekemes and Sherbeene. A total number oj 2048 eatiCe, 648 buffalO€s and 133 sheep were ex­ amined during the perWd extended Jrom September 2005 (ttl the end oj August 2006. The overall tiSsue paraslles prevalence was 18.2 % in large rumlnants and 22.56 % in small rwnlnants. Five tL<;sue parasites were detected named C. boviS, Hydatid cyst. C. tenufco!!i5.

The mega national projects are considered the locomotive of the sustainable development. In this respect, the New Suez Canal, which was totally setup in one year (August 2015-August 2016), with 100% national finance, had a direct and indirect impact concerning increasing the GDP on the one hand, and activating the movement of trade and aracting foreign investments on the other hand, As regards the national project of developing the Suez Canal Corridor, this project mainly aims at increasing the job opportunities and turning the Suez Canal into a global center for maritime navigation and logistic services, an industrial center and a gate for the trade exchange between the east and the west.

    FACT SHEET Tourism and Antiquities Preservation − During the post-2011 tourism downturn, USAID created short- term employment for over 800 Egyptian workers to preserve three historical sites in Luxor, allowing these sites to be accessible for tourism – Luxor’s primary income generator. − USAID field schools have trained over 40 Egyptian archaeologists and several graduates are now employed in ongoing restoration projects. − Lowering groundwater in Old Cairo not only protected an ancient Jewish cemetery, some of the world’s first Christian Churches, and the oldest mosque in Egypt, but the new sewage systems USAID installed also benefited the 140,000 Workers rebuild the Domitian Gate at Medinat Habu on the West Bank of Luxor citizens who live in the area. as part of USAID-funded Chicago House’s epigraphic survey that documents antiquities sites for future generations of tourists and scholars. PHOTO: USAID/JFossler Overview Egypt’s antiquities are not only part of its cultural heritage, but also represent an important economic asset that creates jobs and income. The U.S. government through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided assistance valued at over $100 million since 1995 through 70 major conservation projects spanning the full range of Egypt's long cultural heritage from prehistoric times to the late Ottoman period, and include monuments and masterpieces from every major period. Tourism accounts for about 13 percent of the Egyptian economy and a corresponding amount of employment. The positive impact of tourism can be increased through enhancing linkages with other local economic employment opportunities for people in communities near antiquities sites.

In Pharaonic Egypt certain species were sacramented (e.g. the sacred ibis, sacred scarab, etc.) or protected as public property because of their economic importance (e.g. papyrus: material for state monopolized paper industry). In recent history laws protected certain species of animals, but protection of natural habitats with their ecological attributes and assemblages of plants and animals (nature reserves) remained beyond the interest of government. The United Nations, with the assistance of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) published lists of nature reserves worldwide, and Egypt was not mentioned in these lists till the late 1970s.

    This report is based on the discussions and findings of the Taskforce on Gender mainstreaming organized by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The views expressed in the report are those of the members of the Taskforce and do not necessarily reflect those of JICA. No part of this report may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior written permission of JICA. Published 2005 in JAPAN by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Department of Planning and Coordination Shinjuku Maynds Tower Bldg. 10F, 2-1-1 Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, TOKYO 151-8558 Tel: 03-5352-5506 Fax: 03-5352-5490 E-mail: [email protected] Preamble JICA prepared a guideline for “Gender Mainstreaming/WID” in 2002 in which JICA’s basic policy for gender mainstreaming was fixed. Based on the policy, JICA has been fostering various activities related to gender equality. There are more than 150 countries where JICA’s projects are implemented, out of which, one third belongs to Islamic culture. While JICA’s efforts for gender mainstreaming proceed, we receive enquiries on how to approach gender equality in Islamic countries. In addition, it has been pointed out by gender experts that, as the situation in a country is not always identical, the socio-cultural conditions in the target areas should be well analyzed and that such analysis should not be based only on the national statistics. Based on the above grounds, JICA has decided to conduct a research on gender mainstreaming approaches which can be employed in the diverse socio-cultural context such as ethnic group and religion.

The report will focus on those four components because there is a connection between them and because they are the more urgent and spread needs watched by Maat Institution. This report depended on three information sources: 1- Results of discussion meetings with citizens: there are 33 discussion meetings were held in some Egyptian governorates, in order to define problems and violations related to public utilities and essential services. 2- Citizens complaints: big number of citizens and their representatives in local public councils delivered written complaints to Maat Institution about specific violations they suffer regarding public utilities and essential services. 3- Journalism subjects published in Egyptian journals regarding violations of economical and social rights and depriving from essential services. First violation regarding the right to have safe drinking water: Egypt witnessed in the last three years increasing public anger because of shortage in drinking water available in many places of the republic. Thus, protest forms rose like demonstrations and stays-in strike to force executive managers to solve this problem. This period also witnessed many cases of water pollutions or mixing drinking water with draining water this is the problem which makes many people infected with hepatitis and renal failure.

Blood meals were tested by a direct enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay(ELISA) for 424 Anophel,essergentii and for 63 An. multicolor collected in Siwa, Farafra and Bahariya oases in the Western Desert of Eg5pt. Both specieswere highly zoophilic. Human blood-feedingby An. sergentii was lesscommon in Bahariya (2.3Vo)and Farafra (1.3%)than in Siwa (I5.37o).A likely explanationis that large domestic animals are held at night inside houses in Bahariya and in Farafra whereas in Siwa, animals are usually housedoutdoors in sheds.These patterns of An. sergentii human-feedingbehavior may contribute to the persistenceof low-level Plnsmodiurn uiuor transmission in Siwa in contrast to negligible or no transmission in Bahariya and Farafra.
