Choosing the Environmental Street

Accomplishments

 

Environmental Street July 1999 Till 2002

 


 

 

Through its Clean Up the World (CUW)  campaigns in the last 7 years since 1993, AOYE dreamt of having a so-called in each governorate to be a model for all other streets. The dream turned into a reality as the Arab Office for Youth and Environment began implementing the Project in July 1999 with the support of LIFE UNDP Programme. 

The objective of the project is to establish a comprehensive environmental wise street in 27 of the Egyptian governorates to be a model for clean, healthy, well educated community street and called “Environmental Street”. 

The "Environmental Street" project is currently implemented in eight Governorates: Cairo, Monofeya, Suez, Hurghada, Beni Suef, Minya, Sohag and Luxor and AOYE is hoping to implement it out all across the country. 

These projects are considered a model of partnership, where NGOs, local residents, local authorities and other concerned parties work together to produce an "Environmental Street".

 This street covers various aspects, among which include cleanliness, solid waste management systems, beautification, greening and public awareness. Choosing the environmental street is done through the governorates themselves and not through AOYE, because it is a cooperative project

  


 

special criteria to choose the street:

  • Accessible, limited street “not long” to be controlled through local authorities

  • Architecture shape

  • Heritage background

  • Public awareness

  • Availability and capability of developing landscape

  • Low frequency of public transportation

  • Urban Community
