FHI and its partners work to prevent HIV among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations in Egypt. Learn how FHI partners with Egypt's government and the most respected religious leaders in the region to support a rights-based approach to prevention and treatment. (June 2006)
JUNE 2009 — FHI/Egypt recently developed three Arabic language posters on harm reduction in partnership with the local Egyptian NGO Befrienders. Funded by the Ford Foundation, the posters address the needs of injecting drug users, discuss safer sex, and detail the services provided by the Befrienders comprehensive care center (CCC) where they hang. 
JUNE 2009—FHI/Egypt and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) conducted a stakeholders' meeting June 8 to discuss ways to increase demand for youth-friendly clinics. Such clinics are needed because Egyptian youth often lack information enabling them to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health. They face problems and challenges that are unique to them and that require interventions and information specifically designed to address their needs.
