In a country that is predominantly desert, the Nile River
provides the lifeblood for Egypt's population. With 96% of
Egyptians living astride the river, environmental issues are
a central component of Egyptian life.
Economic development has placed great stress on Egypt's
environment. Population density, combined with
long-postponed infrastructure investments, has severely
overwhelmed water and wastewater services of urban areas
creating numerous environmental hazards.
Environmental awareness is slowly increasing through
government programs and policies and high-visibility
environmental conferences. Although many of Egypt's
environmental programs are just beginning to gain momentum,
the government's awareness-raising programs are preparing
Egyptians to tackle their environmental challenges.
Preserving the environment is one of EACD’s major interests.
The association works in Assiut governorate in coordination
with other NGOs, environmental establishments, research
centers and concerned governmental authorities to achieve
its goals. The activities reach around 830 beneficiaries.
EACD possess several practical ideas and prototypes which
aim environmental protection against pollution and waste
recycling to produce consumable gas and fertilizers. |
