Transformational leadership in action: A case study on the role of NGOs in reducing poverty and catalyzing social change in Egypt.

This study presents the concept of transformational leadership and suggests that non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as transformational leading agencies, have a vital role in addressing community needs in Egypt. The study is conducted using the qualitative research method, focusing on the case study of Alashanek Ya Balady Association for Sustainable Development (AYB-SD), which is an Egyptian NGO directing its efforts towards poverty alleviation and social change in the district of Old Cairo in Cairo. The study inspects the different programs of the NGO using the SWOC (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges) approach that examines the internal and external environments in which the NGO operates. Moreover, throughout the study, reference is made to the efforts of the state, or lack thereof, in supporting the work of NGOs in Egypt. Finally, the study concludes by providing recommendations for the government as well as the NGOs, which can enhance their work and, hopefully, help them in paving the road to a more developed Egypt

Is inclusion the key to addressing the issue of marginalization of children with mental disabilities in Egypt?

Children with mental disabilities have always been discriminated against and were often considered among the minority groups that experienced marginalization in many societies throughout history. Ableism is one form of discrimination, which is the discrimination against people with disabilities because of the type of disability they have. Like in most societies, in Egypt, the problem is compounded, as children not only experience ableism, but also adultism. This thesis will investigate those combined modes of discrimination against children with mental disabilities. The educational system is regarded as part and parcel of the society as a whole, and they are both interconnected and intertwined. On the other hand, they are not synonymous to one another. The marginalization of children with disabilities from the Egyptian educational system is not a recent issue, and policies were formed in order to tackle this problem. In my research I would like to understand whether the children with disabilities were marginalized from the educational system because of its rigidity, lack of resources, and inability to accommodate for including diverse learners? OR their marginalization from the educational system was a result of being segregated from the Egyptian society as a whole, due to other societal factors? And whether inclusion (including children with disabilities in the same classrooms with children without disabilities) would address the issue of their marginalization from the educational system and/or the society, or not? I would also like to investigate the issue of the marginalization of children with disabilities from the educational system in Egypt through understanding the attitudes of mothers, teachers and disability professionals. In this thesis, I would like to assess the experiment of inclusion from the point of view of the main actors involved in it, through investigating the opinions of mothers of children with disabilities, mothers of children without disabilities, teachers in special education, language and mainstream schools, professionals and activists, and examine the societal factors influencing the formation of their attitudes
