At the Gerhart Center, we are committed to empowering individuals and organizations through a range of programs designed to strengthen leadership, enhance professional skills and foster social impact. By empowering individuals and organizations with knowledge and resources, our program strives to create a more impactful, sustainable and socially responsible civic society sector.

Key Program Objectives

We continually evolve the curriculum of our workshops and training programs, focusing on building a network of skilled trainers who can impart their expertise to others. Our curriculum development is driven by the civic society sector's market needs, aiming to bridge existing skill gaps and foster growth.

We assist organizations in formulating comprehensive CSR programs, ensuring that their efforts align with sustainable development goals and best practices in corporate social responsibility. This contributes directly to the program's overarching mission of fostering a positive social impact.

We focus on increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of philanthropists in distributing funds and managing operations. Our goal is to improve the long-term sustainability and impact of philanthropic efforts within the civic society sector.

As part of our commitment to institutionalizing civic engagement in universities, we offer specialized Capacity Building for Leadership (CBL) training programs for faculty members at Egyptian public universities. These programs are designed to elevate faculty skills and deepen their understanding of civic leadership and engagement practices

We are experts in designing and delivering high-quality training courses for development practitioners. Our offerings include:

  • Project Management for Development Practitioners
  • Civic Leadership
  • Community-Based Learning
  • Monitoring and Evaluation
