Youth in Egypt
Building our Future

According to the Report, Egypt’s youth can be a formidable force for development if conditions are put in place for an inclusive society where all young Egyptians feel valued and are afforded opportunities to learn well, find decent work, have a voice, engage productively in the community, afford marriage, and establish their own homes. The Report analyzes from a human development perspective the opportunities and constraints that today face Egypt’s sizeable youth population, w...

Egypt’s Social Contract
The Role of Civil Society

The report centres-in on the developmental role of civil society in light of worldwide government recognition of the pivotal role of civil society, and particularly think tanks, which are increasingly being invited to contribute to social policy formulation.

Choosing our Future: Towards a New Social Contract

This Report which is issued jointly by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Egypt and the Ministry of Planning and Local Development, is based on two important notions of change: A new 'social contract' whereby the state encourages further political, social and economic participation from civil society: by extending and integrating institutions that promote democratic practices and are accountable; by raising the quality of public goods and their delivery; and by developing poli...

Egypt Human Development Report
Choosing Decentralization for Good Governance

Decentralization, and its various dimensions, is the main theme for EHDR 2004. All indicators show Egypt as one of the most highly centralized economies, where budget figures for 2003/04 show that the shares of local government in total government revenues and expenditures are only 3 percent and 15 percent respectively. In addressing the theme of decentralization, the Report has been conceptually designed so as to make use of a ‘theme-sector’ matrix. The main themes are political,...

Egypt Human Development Report

An innovation of the new Report is the calculation of the human development index at the local level. While past NHDRs have been presenting the HDI at the government level since 1994, this edition gives a comprehensive picture of human development in the country's 451 sub-administrative units. This provides a lens through which policy makers can look in detail at specific pockets of poverty or deprivation. The HDI analysis not only provides the basis for the analysis of development trends a...

National Human Development Report 2000/2001
Globalization

Egypt has produced annual Human Development Reports since 1994. The series has led to the creation of the ‘Platform for Action and Monitoring of Human Development’ by the country’s 26 provincial governors. The 2001 report conceptualizes and then explores opportunities and threats posed by globalization, including an assessment of the Egyptians’ economic well-being in a globalized world.

Human Development Report on Education

The report tackled education from the human development perspective stating that one of the main reasons behind selecting this theme is that education plays a critical role, not only in laying out and enlarging the base for human capital in any given country, but also in the redistribution of human wealth, and can be considered the most important, if not the only, asset for the poor. The Report further reveals that the human development approach emphasizes that people's ability to read and wr...

Human Development Report on Public Spending

This report tackled important dimensions concerning social spending for HD: the importance of the reallocation of public resources, the role of social assistance and insurance in alleviating poverty. The Report notes that social protection in Egypt uses two channels; on one hand, the assistance channel which consists of direct transfers to the poor (cash payments, subsidized food and services programs), and on the other hand, the income generation channel which aims at increasing the income ...

Human Development Report on poverty

The report is largely concerned with the problem of poverty and income distribution. The authors analyze the human development process in Egypt by considering the impact of different reform policies on socio-economic variables with a focus on the Economic Reform and Structural Adjustment Program (ERSAP). In addition, the report describes the specially tailored Semi-Participatory Assessment Survey (SPAS), which focused on exploring people's perceptions regarding living conditions, as well as a...

Human Development Report on Participation and Gender

This report was both the concept and the measurement of human development as a participatory process in Egypt. The focus of the Report was accessibility to decision-making, services and markets. It introduced notion of the 20/20 initiative for social development (progress on HD can best be achieved if international donors contribute 20 % of aid flows to human development and governments do the same with government expenditure at the national level). Although existing in all countries at diffe...
