United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Egypt

About

Egypt was one of the first countries to sign an agreement with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to initiate population activities. The country office was established in 1972 and UNFPA has supported Egypt through ten 5-year country programmes ever since. The proposed programme is aligned with national development priorities outlined in Egypt’s Vision 2030 and National Population Strategy; United Nations Partnership and Development Assistance Framework (2023-2027), and builds on recommendations of the 10th country programme evaluation.

The programme aims to build on flagship Presidential initiatives – Haya Karima, a national poverty reduction initiative targeting around 5,000 of the poorest villages; and the National Project for Development of the Egyptian Family, 2022-2024.

The Country Programme aims to create an enabling policy and social environment where girls and young women’s agency is harnessed to ensure they make informed and healthy reproductive health decisions.
