This week I am with three colleagues in the city of Aswan in the south of Egypt. This is my third visit here since January 2016 when we started this five year project with the Aga Khan Foundation Canada on local skills development: ASDP stands for "Aswan Skills Development Program". The setting is fantastic: our hotel is located right along the famous Nile river and every morning we cross with a small ferry boat to the city. Our local partners are the "Om Habibeh Foundation": a local NGO or as they call it here Civil Society Organization.
The OHF runs in partnership with the AKFC a small but fast growing training center and the project is funded through Canadian international development funds of GAC - Global Affairs Canada.
After a long first day of meetings and workshops we wait for the ferry back to our hotel. One productive day of international cooperation done; four more to go...
