In Qena, local authorities and civil organizations have focused on expanding developmental and social protection initiatives. Major General Dr. Mustafa al-Beblawi, the Governor of Qena, met with the National Alliance for Civil Development Work to discuss enhancing cooperation for supporting vulnerable families and implementing projects to improve quality of life and job opportunities.

Following these discussions, the governorate collaborated with the private sector to provide direct aid.
