Rising Star Hamza Diab Appointed UNFPA Champion for Youth and Reproductive Health in Egypt

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Egypt has announced the appointment of emerging actor Hamza Diab as a UNFPA Champion. This strategic partnership, effective November 11, 2026, will utilize Diab's influence and public engagement to raise awareness on critical youth issues and foster positive change throughout Egypt. His two-year commitment will concentrate on promoting youth leadership, enhancing mental health awareness, and advocating for positive masculinity among young men, in addition to other social causes important to him.

Hamza Diab, a 20-year-old Egyptian actor, has rapidly gained prominence in Egyptian and Arab drama and cinema. His notable works include the popular series “Kamel Al-Adad,” the youth drama “Izma,” “50/50,” and the recent series “Tale’ Nazel.”

The UNFPA Champions initiative operates under the agency’s global “Influencer and Advocate Policy.” This policy is designed to amplify influential voices and establish strategic collaborations with public figures to advance the UNFPA's mission. In Egypt, the UNFPA actively engages with young people to cultivate empowerment, leadership skills, and their meaningful participation in decisions impacting their lives and communities. The fund also prioritizes the promotion of mental health and well-being among youth, advocating for accessible mental health support and resources.
