Egypt’s poorest governorates are the ones that hold the highest fertility rates, said the director of the “Two Is Enough” family planning campaign at the Social Solidarity Ministry, Desiree Labib. Labib explained that the program has achieved great success by contracting 108 NGOs, and opening 64 family planning clinics. One of the most important aspects of the campaign is increasing awareness of having less children, in addition to working on family planning. A weekly community education seminar is being held to teach target groups on awareness and family planning, in addition to specialized family planning clinics, she said. And awareness campaigns provided by Health and Population Ministry and Social Solidarity Ministry have a very significant impact in causing families to have less children.
