Opinion| UNIDO Egypt fosters manufacturing sector recovery in a changing economy

The UNIDO Regional Hub in Egypt was established in 1999 covering eight countries: Egypt, Algeria, Djibouti, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen. UNIDO activities in the region address several aspects of ISID aiming at simultaneously promoting economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. Based on a strong partnership with the government and the private sector, the UNIDO technical cooperation portfolio includes 64 projects in the region with a total budget of $138m. These projects focus on job creation and local economic development; promotion of the agro-industry sector and upgrading of its value chains; creation of SME clusters and industrial parks; promotion of resource and energy efficiency and green jobs; in addition to projects supporting countries to fulfil their obligations under multilateral environmental agreements (the Montreal Protocol, the Stockholm Convention, and the Minamata Convention).
