Report on Identifying Resource Poor Communities in Some Egyptian Governorates Report on Identifying Resource Poor Communities in Some Egyptian Governorates CR/RADCON/2005/June 21/Shaker and Kassem/1a Contents Page Background and Justification. 2 The Objective of the Study. 3 Methodolgy. 3 Indicators. 9 Results. 12 Village Community Profiles. 21 Report on Identifying Resource Poor Communities in Some Egyptian Governorates Background and Justification: The World Food Summit (WFS) held in Rome in 1996 committed FAO member states to the 2015 goal of reducing food insecurityby half. To meet the target of halving malnutrition in developing countries by 2015, this number needs to be cut by at least 20 million per year. With a growing world population, this situation may even worsen unless very determined and well-targeted actions are taken to improve food security. The Millennium development goals further highlight the importance of confronting the scourge of poverty and the despair of food security. Therefore, there is a need to reconceptualize and reprioritize extension services and promote communication for rural development activities within the framework of the food security challenge. For the foreseeable future, dealing with poverty and hunger means confronting the problems that small farmers and their families face in their daily struggle for survival. Agricultural extension continues to be in transition worldwide. Governments and international agencies are advancing structural, financial and mangerial reforms to improve extension, decentralization, pluralism, cost sharing, cost recovery, participation of stakeholders in development initiatives and the decisions and resources that affect them. A number of policy recommendations were put by the international workshop on “Extension and Rural Development” jointly hosted in November 2002 by the World Bank, The USAID, and the Neuchatel Group. These recommendations were: government should focus public financing on the poor, government should view extension within a wider rural development agenda, government should develop a stakeholder coordinating mechanism, government should build capacity of rural producers’ organizations, the public sector, and service providers. In this context, FAO in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation in Egypt initiated a project to establish “Rural and Agricultural Development Communication Network” (RADCON) that build on the success of “Vertiual Extension and Research Communication Network” (VERCON) to benefit farm families and their communities from an information system, which is operated by agricultural extension in collaboration with the national agricultural research system. The Objective of the Study: To identify fifty resource poor communities and connected them to the RADCON information system and its activities. Methodolgy Study Population: According to the data mentioned in table No. (1) this study was conducted in 177 villages. These villages affiliated to Thirty nine extension centers in six governorates in addition to Noubaria region. The activities of VERCON project are implemented through these extension centers at the village level. These 177 villages could be classified as follows: Fifty five villages in Kafr Al-Shiekh governorate, Fourty nine villages in Assuit governorate, fifteen villages in Noubaria region, thirteen villages in Fayoum governorate, Seven villages in Ismsilia governorate, Thirty three villages in Beheira governorate and five villages in Dakahlia governorate.

Face-to-face questionnaire-based interviews were administered to the participants. The survey tool is a 9- item questionnaire translated in Arabic, designed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude about warning symptoms and risk factors of cerebro-vascular stroke. Results: According to the participants, the main source of knowledge about CVS was from seeing someone with stroke, the main risk factor of CVS was hypertension, the most frequent warning symptom of CVS was paralysis of one side, and the most frequent action to be taken with the onset of CVS was direct transfer to the hospital. Conclusion: Hypertension was the mostly known risk factor. Only few participants were aware of diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for cerebro-vascular stroke.

  • Hydrogeological and Water Quality Characteristics of the Saturated Zone Beneath the Various Land Uses in the Nile Delta Region, Egypt
    Freshwater Contamination (Proceedings of Rabat Symposium S4, April-May 1997). IAHS Publ. no. 243, 1997 255 Hydrogeological and water quality characteristics of the saturated zone beneath the various land uses in the Nile Delta region, Egypt ISMAIL MAHMOUD EL RAMLY PO Box 5118, Heliopolis West, Cairo, Egypt Abstract The Nile Delta saturated zone lies beneath several land uses which reflect variations in the aquifer characteristics within the delta basin. The present study investigates the scattered rural and urban areas and their environmental impacts on the water quality of the underlying semi-confined and unconfined aquifer systems. The agricultural and industrial activities also affect the groundwater quality located close to the agricultural lands and the various industrial sites, which have started to expand during the last three decades. INTRODUCTION It is believed that the population increase and its direct relation to the expansion of the rural and urban areas in Egypt during the last 30 years has affected the demand for additional water supplies to cover the need of the inhabitants in both areas, which in turn has many consequences for aquifer pollution through the effects of municipal wastewater effluent. The construction of the High Dam caused agricultural expansion by changing the basin irrigation system into a perennial irrigation system. Increase in the application of fertilizers and pesticides has caused the pollution of the surface water bodies which are connected with the aquifer systems in the Nile Delta basin. Industrial activities have much affected the groundwater system below the Nile Delta region due to the increase of the industrial waste effluent dumped into the river without any treatment.
