The panel will use information from the program application to assess the quality of each applicant and their potential to improve Egyptian cities through their leadership in urban-related fields. A shortlist of applicants will be invited to an interview via Skype on Thursday 19 March 2020. In-person interviews will not be offered. All applicants will receive a decision no later than 1 April 2020. The panel’s decision is final and no appeals are possible.
The Sawiris Foundation was founded in April 2001 as a grant-making foundation. Set up with an endowment from the Sawiris family – which is made up of prominent members of the business world and the development community - it is one of the first family donor foundations dedicated to social development to be established in Egypt. In 2005, the Foundation was granted special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
