Today, Nov. 21, United Nations Population Fund Egypt (UNFPA), is set to hold a conference on the localization mechanism of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 27 provinces under the patronage of the Government of Egypt.
For the first time, UNFPA, in partnership with Egypt's Government, is launching 27 reports for addressing and identifying the developmental gaps of each governorate in order to highlight key priority areas and target groups.
The event will be held in the presence of the Minister of Planning and Economic Development Dr. Hala Al-Said, Minister of Local Development Major General Mahmoud Shaarawi, UNFPA Representative in Egypt Ms. Frederika Meijer, all 27 Governors, deputies, and local planners. It will also be attended by relevant stakeholders including the private sector, civil society, research and academia, and development partners.
The event is also expected to discuss the active engagement of the governorates in the implementation of the SDGs, and the integration of SDGs into local plans and the potential use of the 27 reports as a basis for any future efforts to produce Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs ).
