Referral Pathway for Gender-Based Violence – Policy Brief
What are the main barriers facing the national referral pathway for Gender-Based Violence in Egypt? and what kind of solutions can be implemented to bridge these gaps?
Community Solutions
What we offer in Shamseya are solutions that are based on a participatory and client-centered methodology. This approach emphasises the needs and expectations of the key beneficiaries as top priority, allows them to form driving forces towards the realisation of successful outcomes while preventing failures associated with stagnant politics and highly centralised decision-making.
By “Communities” we refer to any groups of human beings, sharing common values, intents, believes, preferences, needs, risks or interests. A community can be the residents of a village in upper Egypt, a bedouin tribe in Sinai, a group of construction day-workers, colleagues in the same profession…etc.
As long as there is something that brings them together. A commonality that allows to operate as a group and not as individual, this only means half our job is done. What remains is some faith and trust in this communities capacities to address its own issues and manage their own healthcare system, with some, minor, technical and logistic support from our side.
We offer a wide range of services for communities wishing
to solve their healthcare services problems with their own hands. These services are provided with the aim of creating a self-sustained system that is independent from all.
