WHAT IS THE GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS NARRATIVE?
The new Global Partnerships Narrative aims at highlighting Egypt’s successful cooperation story with its partners to help foster inclusive growth in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The new narrative aims to contribute to ensuring that the promotion of future collaborations is based on an up-to-date, consistent, and complete narrative between the Government of Egypt and its multilateral and bilateral partners generated through strong connections and engagement.
It focuses on three pillars: people at the core projects in action and purpose as the driver. For the first pillar, Egypt is committed to improving Egyptian people’s lives through public-private partnerships that push Egyptians towards realizing their full potential.
As for the second pillar, projects are implemented with various partners, from international development partners to governments as well as the private sector and civil society across multiple sectors including in education, transportation, water desalination, renewable energy, entrepreneurship, and women empowerment.
For the third pillar, partnerships with the purpose to achieve the 17 SDGs are the key driver to generate sustained and inclusive growth in a rapidly changing world.
This is regarded as the second principle of economic diplomacy, which also includes the first principle through regularly organizing multi-stakeholder platforms to ensure that all projects between development partners are streamlined and effective, and the third principle through mapping ODA financing to SDGs for all projects with multilateral and bilateral development partners.
