It aligns with the efforts of the National Coalition for Civil Developmental Work according to the coalition’s social protection plan, which was developed to provide necessary support to the most needy families in all provinces of the republic to alleviate their burden.

The coalition has succeeded in enhancing the right to development and considering it one of the most important priorities of work.

The coalition has worked on establishing a unified database for civil work, and it promotes a culture of volunteerism.

The coalition will be central with branches in many provinces, in addition to targeting Arab and African countries.

The efforts of the National Coalition in enhancing civil work within the Egyptian state come through unifying the efforts of major Egyptian civil work institutions to achieve development and service activities within all provinces of the republic, supporting various state institutions in alleviating the burdens on citizens, and meeting their needs. The National Coalition for Work represents law number 171 of 2023 regarding the National Coalition for Civil Developmental Work, according to Article 23, the first general assembly of the coalition should convene upon the invitation of the President of the Republic within a month from its establishment date.
