As part of the project "Empowering Civil Society and the Legal Profession", the United Group organized a discussion meeting on April 30, 2009 for the civil society associations that signed protocols of cooperation within the Alexandria governorate. The meeting aimed at identifying the most important obstacles facing these associations in terms of conducting their activities. The meeting was attended by sixty individuals, representing fourty-five associations at the National Foundation for Family and Community Development.
The regional union of NGOs in Alexandria was represented by Messrs. Hassan Abaza, Head of the Union, and Mr. Ahmed Shalash, who responded to queries by the associations. The United Group was represented by Messrs. Ehab Sallam (Project Manager) and Ehab Rady (Assistant Project Manager).
The associations inquired about a number of topics, mainly:
• The arbitrariness of the administrative entities with the associations
• The extent of the governor's authority to dissolve associations, without real protection (which is a threat against the associations of Alexandria)
• The associations' need for training on grant management and applying for grants
• A particular problem about a vehicle purchased by one of the associations, and which license was cancelled by the governor
• The subject of pilgrimage subject (Hajj and Umrah) of associations
