UN Women grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the Centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates the United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts and builds effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

Women’s economic empowerment is central to realizing women’s rights and gender equality. Women’s economic empowerment includes women’s ability to participate equally in existing markets; their access to and control over productive resources, access to decent work, control over their own time, lives and bodies; and increased voice, agency and meaningful participation in economic decision-making at all levels from the household to international institutions.

Empowering women in the economy and closing gender gaps in the world of work are key to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5, to achieve gender equality, and Goal 8, to promote full and productive employment and decent work for all; also Goal 1 on ending poverty, Goal 2 on food security, Goal 3 on ensuring health and Goal 10 on reducing inequalities.

UN Women and UNIDO in Egypt are implementing the Joint Programme (JP) entitled “Women Economic Empowerment for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth in Egypt” funded by the Government of Canada from 2019-2024 and is implemented in partnership with the National Council for Women (NCW), the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MOTI), and the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (MSMEDA). Presidential Decree No. 367 for the year 2020 was issued for the Programme in June 2020 and was ratified in November 2020 under the framework of the subsidiary agreement between the Government of Egypt and the Government of Canada.

The JP aims to reach 6,300 direct beneficiaries and 30,000 indirect beneficiaries by using an integrated approach, which combines both downstream measures directly working with women, businesses and support institutions and upstream interventions at the policy level, the JP aims to achieve the following:

- Increased productivity and job opportunities generated by women entrepreneurs.

- Strengthened performance of productive clusters to employ more women
- Enhanced employability of women in growth-oriented sectors
