Egypt joined the ILO in 1936 and the ILO is supporting its tripartite partners in Egypt in the application of Egypt’s Sustainable Development Agenda: Egypt’s vision 2030

Overall, the integration of employment concerns into trade and investment policies in Egypt has shown promising results in creating more job opportunities and supporting sustainable economic growth, the importance of decent work in achieving sustainable development is highlighted by Goal 8 which aims to “promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in ensuring that the benefits of economic growth are distributed more evenly across different regions and social groups especially for youth, women, and SMEs.

METI project aims, together with our partners in Egypt, to be able to discover the untapped export potential in Egypt’s sectors as well as focus on a Value chain Analysis through TRAVERA & STED approach to reach some recommendations of how Egypt can reach its untapped export potentials in the selected sector chosen by our national partners
