Egypt: Raising awareness about millennium development goals
In a bid to spread the word for a global partnership in development among Egyptians, eight feluccas sailed down the Nile last week reaching their last port of call, in Cairo earlier this month.
Organized by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the aim of the Nile tour, which included seven governorates in Upper Egypt, was to raise the profile of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Egypt.
"We also wanted to remind the government of its promises to achieve the millennium goals as well as motivate individuals to try to reach them", Ola al-Tanani, the communications officer at UNDP Egypt, told IRIN.
