Egypt, UNDP Discuss Enhancing Cooperation

On Wednesday, Egyptian Environment Minister Yassmin Fouad met with the Head of the Regional Office of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Abdallah al Dardari, and the Resident Representative of the UNDP in Egypt Alessandro Fracassetti.

The meeting tackled ways to enhance cooperation in light of the current partnership with the development program to support environmental investment.

During the meeting, Fouad held cooperation with the UND, saying that the UN agency is a main partner in the development journey of the environment sector in Egypt via the different tools presented to support the environmental policies.

She continued that the UNDP was a partner in several stories of success that achieved a quantum leap in Egypt including the launching of the idea of sustainable transport in the country via cooperation between the program and the Environment Ministry.

The minister also affirmed the importance of linking the climate, biological diversity, and desertification and the role of the UNDP in developing a group of policies to face those three challenges.
