TI  - Capacity-building activities for local leadership in Egypt from the local to the 
      national and regional levels.

AB  - In order to make the Sustainable Ismailia Project institutionally sustainable, 
      the National Project Manager identified the need to build the capacity of local 
      leadership. The Training Section, in UNCHS, proposed a capacity-building program 
      designed to respond to this demand focusing on the skill-training and attitude 
      formation needed for effective local leadership. The proposed program is adapted 
      from the "Training for Elected Leadership" series widely tested and used in many 
      regions. It combines direct training for local officials from villages in 
      Ismailia, and indirect training for trainers from the Ministry of Local 
      Administration (MLA). After the course, the MLA trainers would design a training 
      program which they will implement nationally. The Minister for Local 
      Administration decided to finance the translation and production of the manuals, 
      while the Governor of Ismailia offered to cover the trainees' expenses. The UNCHS 
      Training and Capacity-Building Section would provide technical guidance and 
      coordinate and implement the program. Once the Arabic version of the training 
      materials would be available, UNCHS would use it regionally to reach out to other 
      Arab States. This example illustrates how concerned stakeholders cooperate to 
      address capacity-building needs. The UNCHS Training Section assumes the role of 
      facilitator and acts as a catalyst for the formulation of such activities. The 
      feeling of ownership of the locally produced/adapted training materials enhances 
      the propensity of their effective and extensive use. This approach has succeeded 
      across regions, cultures, and languages with out-reaching multiplier effects.
