It’s time to push the frontier of what is possible. If the largest generation of young people in history is prepared for the transition from learning to work, the potential for global progress is unlimited.

Shabab Balad is a partnership driven by young people, who understand the challenges they face and have the ambition to develop the most relevant solutions. The initiative is committed to unlocking the tremendous potential of Egypt’s youth by expanding access to education, skills development, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Our goal is to equip young people with the knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world. We promote lifelong learning, strengthen non-academic and employability skills, and help bridge the gap between labour market needs and the skills young people possess.

By connecting young people to education, skills and training, Shabab Balad supports their successful transition from learning to earning, helping them prepare for decent work and contribute to Egypt’s future.
