Egypt — Both the Jenologia Center for Thought and Studies and the Tawasol Egyptian Center for Studies seek to enhance cooperation in the field of youth studies through launching joint training and knowledge programs, thereby strengthening the role of research institutions in formulating policies more responsive to society's needs.

The Jenologia Center for Thought and Studies and the Tawasol Egyptian Center for Studies announced the launch of a new partnership aimed at enhancing cooperation in the fields of youth studies, scientific research, training, and knowledge and expertise exchange, contributing to supporting young cadres and presenting new visions for societal and developmental issues. The partnership announcement coincided with a seminar organized by the Jenologia Center titled "Youth Towards a National Egyptian Youth Agenda," attended by Dina Mohsen, President of the Jenologia Center for Thought and Studies; Nogein Youssef, Executive Director of the Jenologia Center; Dr. Youssef Al-Wardani, President of the Tawasol Egyptian Center for Studies; along with a number of researchers, specialists, and those interested in youth issues.

Dina Mohsen, President of the Jenologia Center for Thought and Studies, affirmed that the Center aims to build a regional network that transcends the local scope, stemming from its interest in issues of society, participation, coexistence, citizenship, and combating discrimination and racism, while highlighting inspiring experiences in Egypt and the Arab region and benefiting from them in building the future.

She explained that attention to women's issues comes from their being among the groups most affected by conflicts and crises, affirming that one cannot speak of democracy, sustainable development, or the future without capable and empowered women. This drives the Center to work on enhancing knowledge, awareness, and empowerment, alongside supporting women's cadres in various fields.

She noted that the Jenologia Center works in the fields of thought, studies, research, and the presentation and exchange of ideas, and that its advisory board includes figures from Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Palestine, and Syria, reflecting its orientation toward regional cooperation and the exchange of expertise and cultures. She added that the partnership with the Tawasol Center represents a new step in building bridges of cooperation between civil society institutions and research centers. "Areas of cooperation will include training, workshops, seminars, and joint programs, in addition to preparing studies and research related to youth and girls' issues."

For his part, Dr. Youssef Al-Wardani, President of the Tawasol Egyptian Center for Studies, affirmed that the partnership aims to strengthen the field of youth studies in Egypt—a field that still needs deeper development and systematic attention. "Cooperation will remain open to research institutions, civil society organizations, and parties wishing to contribute, allowing for the expansion of the partnership network and benefiting from specialized expertise." He noted that the work will be based on a clear methodology including identifying intervention areas, setting performance indicators, scheduling, and estimating necessary resources for program implementation, ensuring the transformation of the partnership into measurable and evaluable projects and activities.

The partnership comes within the framework of both centers' orientation toward supporting youth and enhancing their participation in public life, providing greater spaces for knowledge, training, and research, helping to prepare cadres capable of contributing to shaping society's future.
