Egyptian Member of Parliament Sahar El-Bazar has announced her selection as an Ambassador for the Center for International Development at Harvard University, representing the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region—marking a notable step in her international policy engagement.
El-Bazar, who serves as Deputy Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee in Egypt’s House of Representatives and Secretary of Foreign Relations for the Nation’s Future Party, shared the news through her professional channels, offering a first-hand account of the appointment.
“I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Ambassador for Middle East and North Africa at Harvard Center for International Development.” said El-Bazar.
Expanding Egypt’s Global Policy Presence
El-Bazar’s growing international profile reflects broader efforts by Egyptian policymakers to engage with global development institutions. In her parliamentary role, she has been actively involved in advancing foreign relations and fostering cross-border cooperation.
As she steps into this role, attention will likely turn to how the position evolves and whether further institutional confirmation emerges from Harvard’s Center for International Development.
Her newly announced position will contribute to dialogue between the MENA region and global research communities, particularly on issues such as sustainable development, economic resilience, and regional integration.
