Dr. Mahmoud Mohieldin, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for Egypt and UN Special Envoy on Financing 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, said that the National Initiative for Smart Green Projects (NISGP) has been highly appreciated by Egypt’s development partners at the regional and international levels.
This statement came during his participation in a meeting of the jury of the initiative, with the involvement of Ambassador Hisham Badr, NISGP General Coordinator, representatives of the concerned ministries and national councils, and executive members of the initiative at the provincial level, according to the “See” website.
Mohieldin stated that through this unprecedented initiative, Egypt made an outstanding contribution to development and climate action, praising the success of the first version of the initiative that resulted in many distinguished projects appreciated at the local, regional, and international levels.
He explained that the initiative succeeded in combining centralization through the direct auspices of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, its coordination through Egypt Cabinet and the efforts of the concerned ministries, and decentralization through the steps and significant contributions of governorates and local bodies in different cities and villages throughout the country.
