The World Bank Group has announced new parameters for partnership with Egypt

 


According to Emirates News Agency, the World Bank Group's board of executive directors approved a new Country Partnership Framework for Egypt on Wednesday. The document outlines Egypt's strategy for the years 2023 to 2027.

The new CPF is consistent with Egypt's 2030 Vision, National Climate Change Policy, and Sustainable Development Strategy. It seeks to accomplish three high-level goals.

The framework's first goal is to increase the number of employment in the private sector by creating a favorable environment for private sector-led investments and job prospects as well as by leveling the playing field for the private sector.

Second, the CPF promotes inclusive, equitable, and enhanced health and education services as well as successful social protection programs in order to increase human capital outcomes.

Thirdly, it aims to increase shock resilience by enhancing macroeconomic management and implementing adaptation and mitigation strategies for climate change.

“The National Partnership Framework between Egypt and the World Bank Group for the years 2023–2027 opens a new phase of development cooperation and collaborative action to support initiatives to achieve equitable and sustainable growth. The country's 2030 vision, national goals, and presidential initiatives are the foundation for this,” according to Egypt's minister of foreign cooperation, Dr. Rania Al-Mashat.

"This CPF helps Egypt's efforts to build back better by enabling conditions for green, resilient, and inclusive development," said Marina Wes, the World Bank's country director for Egypt, Yemen, and Djibouti. It centers its strategy on the Egyptian people and prioritizes employment growth by enhancing the business climate and leveling the playing field.

Through enhancing regional commerce and boosting connectivity in the areas of infrastructure, transportation, energy, and labor, the CPF also seeks to increase Egypt's position in regional integration.

Sudan's Conflict Sparks Concerns Over Regional Stability

Image
  After months of increasing tension, an open military conflict erupted last week between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary group. This conflict is particularly alarming given that both groups were once close allies and had worked together to seize control of the country after ousting former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. However, the relationship between the two groups has been deteriorating due to several reasons, including differing views on integrating the RSF into the military and a sensitive plan for a transition to civilian rule. The latest conflict has resulted in over 410 fatalities, with numerous hospitals going out of service and many people trapped in their homes. The situation has led to depleting essential supplies, and only a few humanitarian organizations are currently operating in Sudan . Countries like Germany, South Korea, and the US are struggling to find ways to evacuate their embassy staff, while ceasefires have not h

  Three MPs from the Change movement (Waddah Sadek, Mark Daou, and Michel Doueihy) as well as members of the Kataeb Party, Lebanese Forces, and Renewal Party criticised the military exercises Hezbollah conducted last Sunday on Friday. These exercises, in which 200 Hezbollah fighters took part in Aaramta, southern Lebanon , according to a joint statement signed by 31 MPs and read in Parliament, "are part of the militia practises it has been exercising in the country for years, contradicting the principles of the state in all its components." According to their statement, Hezbollah "no longer has a place in Lebanese political life and has been rejected by the majority of Lebanese people." This party "cannot impose political, military, security, or economic agendas on the country" and "has no right whatsoever to push Lebanon into conflicts that serve its regional project," they stressed. Also declaring that "Lebanon cannot coexist with a mini-s

  For Jerusalem Day, an annual demonstration of sympathy for the Palestinians, tens of thousands of Iranians marched through Tehran's centre on Friday as others shouted "death to America" and "death to Israel ." President Ebrahim Raisi and other senior Iranian leaders were present during the gathering. The protests commemorating what is also known as Al-Quds Day have generally been conducted on the final Friday of the holy month of Ramadan since Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979. East Jerusalem was taken by Israel during the Middle East War of 1967 and added to its capital. The Palestinians want Jerusalem's eastern sector to serve as their future capital. The Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, is located in Jerusalem. The complex, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, is also considered to be the holiest place in Judaism. Mohammad Qalibaf, the speaker of the parliament, told protesters that Israel is the "root" of the issues in the a
