A new project in Egypt ‘Atenien Kefaya’ (Only two kids) aims to fight back at the country’s overpopulation through raising awareness of better family planning strategies. Prime Minister Sherif Ismail recently attended discussions over the project, which aims to reduce Egypt’s overpopulation burden. According to state-run newspaper Al-Ahram, the Atenein Kefaya project was launched by the Ministry of Social Solidarity to target over one million women across 10 governorates facing an uncontrolled population increase. She added that the governorates the project targets are Giza, Beni Suef, Qena, Minya, Assiut, Sohag, Aswan, Fayoum and Luxor. The minister stated that the criteria for choosing these governorates focused on finding both the most fertile ones and the poorest.
