Mr. Magdi Hussin Ismail worked as a Credit Specialist for the Rural Cottage Industries Development (RCID) project in Egypt from July 1994 to June 1996. The RCID project partnered with an Egyptian NGO to increase women's participation in rural economic development through programs in association building, business training, and credit. During his time with RCID, Mr. Hussin developed their credit methodology and materials, organized a loan committee, and supervised the successful credit program which had high repayment rates. His efforts were largely responsible for the program's success. The vice president provides this letter of recommendation praising Mr. Hussin's work.
