News Agencies

On behalf of the Government of Egypt, Dr. Rania A. Al-Mashat, the Minister of International Cooperation, joined by Ms. Elena Panova, the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Egypt on behalf of the United Nations Country Team in Egypt, signed an agreement on 9 May 2023.

The Government of Egypt and the United Nations signed the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) to support and reaffirm the commitment between both parties toward their shared vision for Egypt.

By incorporating both national development goals and the SDGs and aligning with the agreed-upon four strategic priorities, the UNSDCF is an instrument that provides guidance and a strategic direction to achieve sustainable development.

Focusing on five primary development pillars which are people, planet, prosperity, and governance in addition to women and girls, the UNSDCF has adapted these pillars into all aspects of the partnership as the development would not be achieved without recognizing their importance and value.

Emphasizing strategic priorities is essential as they represent various dimensions required for sustainable development. Through the evaluation of national priorities, which have been adapted and further developed from the previous United Nations Partnership Development Framework 2018-2022, this document recognized national priorities translated to strategic priorities through the UN’s competitive advantage.

This Signing Ceremony serves as a declaration of the commitment of the United Nations Country Team in Egypt and the Government of Egypt towards the UNSDCF strategic priorities and outcomes. Significant progress to be made by 2027 toward sustainable development will be determined using various performance indicators and targets through collaboration between UN agencies, government partners, and relevant stakeholders. The UNSDCF promotes accountability and aims to increase transparency regarding the development efforts taking place in Egypt.
