After the extraordinary events of January 25th, Egypt is hoping for a better future. The School of Global Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP) at The American University in Cairo is launching a new initiative to contribute actively to the development of Egypt in this critical transitional phase. The objective of the Building Better Egypt Initiative is to create awareness and promote broad debate amongst the Egyptian community around the changes &/or developments taking place in the coming 6 months before the presidential elections. 

The initiative focuses on four main tracks:
• Managing the transition:  expectations and strategies
• Restarting competitive politics:  Egypt’s new parties
• Ensuring media freedom:  what is needed to protect freedom of the press
• Constitution reform:  the referendum and the revolution

The initiative is made of four components;
1. Tahrir Dialogue and Public events
2. Invitational and Public Policy Workshops
3. Executive Education Training Workshops
4. Program Management and Student Engagement
