Egypt's Minister of Social Solidarity Ghada Wali launched in Alexandria Sunday the preliminary media campaign for the family planning project “two is enough” at Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
2 Kefaya (Two [children] are enough) is part of a national strategy adopted by the Health Ministry to raise awareness among people about the importance of birth control and family planning.
In a press release, Wali said that reducing population growth in Egypt is essential in order to feel the economic growth.
The Social Solidarity Ministry is responsible for seeking cooperation among various NGOs to raise awareness among Egyptian women on the importance of birth control, she noted.
The first phase of the program targets 2,257 villages in ten poor governorates, namely Behira, Giza, Fayyoum, Beni Suef, Minya, Assiut, Sohag, Qena, Luxor and Aswan, she added.
The project targets women covered by the Takaful program and it was mainly designed to encourage family planning, she added.
