Global Philanthropy Forum

The next generation of Egypt’s leaders will have the opportunity to build a new social contract, one which trusts and empowers the citizen, offers consistent services, advances equity and protects human rights. Panelists will discuss the arc of liberation in North Africa and the challenges ahead in a revolution that is not quite over. They will focus on the role of nongovernmental actors, including faith-based and other citizen organizations. And they will describe the societal stresses and strains as anew social contract is forged.Hossam Bahgat, Founder and Director, Egyptian Initiative for Personal RightsSaad Eddin Ibrahim, Founder, Ibn Kaldun Center for Development Studies and Arab Organization for Human RightsBarbara Lethem Ibrahim, Founding Director, John D.
