Background


For over 50 years, UNDP has been supporting the Egyptian government and people in their efforts to reduce poverty and to promote sustainable human development policies.

In line with goals 6, 14 and 15, UNDP will support the development and implementation of protected areas management plans with the Ministry of Environment, local authorities, Italian cooperation and other donors.

This will involve creating effective linkages to the private sector, innovation, job creation and livelihood improvement, with a focus on women's economic empowerment, community-based development and increased access to renewable energy sources (goals 8 and 9).
