The symposium aims to bring together relevant stakeholders from Egyptian library and visually impaired communities with appropriate government, parliamentary, and legislative leaders to come up with an Egyptian solution to the lack of accessible books and educational resources for blind and visually impaired people in Egypt.

The event is expected to result in an agreement on the formation of a national committee or alliance that includes all stakeholder groups to call for the ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty, as well as the development of strategic work plans for the Egyptian ratification process and for the development of a network of effective authorized entities—including libraries and universities—to provide accessible materials for people with print disabilities.
