          Since President Abdel Fattah El Sisi assumed the presidential office in June 2014, Egypt has witnessed an impressive development in certain areas aimed at improving public services, increasing governorate resources and preserving state property and rights.

          “Over the past seven years, Egypt has implemented 6.5 million projects, provided various public services and achieved economic development at a cost of LE225 billion, benefiting 38 million citizens and providing 7.3 million jobs,” Minister of Local Development Mahmoud Sharaawi said.


          The minister referred to a comprehensive development in Egypt, of which the foundations have been laid by President Sisi. This has been embodied in scores of national projects in the field of roads, electricity, providing a decent life for the neediest villages in addition to restoring the rights of the people and future generations to preserve state property and lands and removing all encroachments of the last four decades.

          Roads, flyovers Some LE50 billion was spent to paving and raise and building bridges at crossroads intersections and railway level crossings.

          This will reduce accidents, prevent traffic jams, and shorten journey times to places of work and home.
          About 35,000 kilometres of road have been resurfaced, 80 pedestrian bridges have been built, along with 35 flyovers and 15 pedestrian subways. These projects created 500,000 jobs.

          Environment, public health Sharaawi referred to presidential directives for a clean environment and the new
          waste system. LE34 billion was spent on the cleaning and beautifying programme and covering waterways in villages and cities to safeguard public health.

          This entailed the purchase of new cleaning equipment and the maintenance of old, covering waterways (canals and drains) within the residential blocks, and giving a facelift to the entrances of 75 cities, neighbourhoods, and 500 villages.


          Four new refuse recycling plants have been set up in three governorates at a cost of LE305 million. Four sanitary landfills in three governorates have been created for LE84 million, plus 33 mobile intermediate stations in 8 governorates costing LE174 million, and 15 fixed intermediate stations in 8 governorates costing LE345 million.
          Electricity supply LE19 billion was spent on improving domestic electricity supply and lighting services, thereby meeting the needs of those wishing to establish small and medium projects.

          Security, fire service, traffic Regarding the field of security, firefighting and traffic, 3500 projects were implemented, including the supply of rescue vehicles, the construction of fire stations, the supply of firefighting, security vehicles, the supply of equipment and rescue missions at a cost of LE7 billion, which provided 35,000
          jobs. LE 9 billion was spent on public transport in Cairo and Alexandria, which created 60,000 jobs to purchasing new buses, electric buses and gas-fuelled buses.

          Abattoirs Within the framework of the presidential directives, new slaughterhouses were established with the aim of preserving the environment from pollution and public health, and producing healthy, clean and safe
          meat. The slaughterhouses were constructed with the latest technology. Ministry of Local Development in co-operation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation has upgraded 147 slaughterhouses at a total cost of LE3.5 billion.


          Qena, Sohag Making Qena and Sohag the most attractive governorates for investment, a ministry programme in Upper Egypt costing $1 billion from the World Bank was created to enhance competitiveness, provide a business
          environment and climate for investors and improve public services.

          Under the Egyptian Villages Development Programme in 2017-2019, 208 villages were developed in 26 governorates where 2,591 projects were implemented at a cost of LE10.5 billion. This provided 185,000
          jobs.

          Decent Life initiative President Sisi launched the first phase of Decent Life initiative in 2019, calling on the government and civil society organisations to unite efforts to improve living standards in the most deprived rural areas. About 1.9 million people benefited from the initiative in the first phase which cost LE3.5 billion.

          Some 628 projects were implemented providing more than 300,000 jobs. The first phase included the development 16,000 homes, 51 health centres, 1,100 classrooms to accommodate 44,000 students and paving 188 kilometres of road.

          Job creation Young people and women who are sole or principal breadwinners have benefited from the creation of jobs while small and microprojects have received funding and technical support.

          National Project for Human and Community Development was launched to provide soft loans for the implementation of micro, small and medium projects for youth.

          Nearly 172,000 projects were supported at a cost of LE18.5 billion in the period 2014- 2021 with soft loans from the Your Project programme, providing 1.4 million jobs.

          The Local Development Fund invested LE170 million schemes generating 23,000 jobs. ‘Your job in your village’ initiative This initiative provided young people and women who are sole breadwinners jobs and developed local communities. This was in coordination with the governorates and the Ministry of Agriculture. Some 370 plots of land were provided in Ismailia, Fayyoum, el-Minya and Menoufia to establish industrial complexes for small, medium and micro enterprises The project aims to provide more than 400 jobs.

          Applying law of reconciliation Sharaawi said his ministry enforced the law of reconciliation on building violations
          and infringements on state property. The total number of reconciliation requests for some building violations received by the governorates reached 2.8 million. LE18 billion was collected.

          ‘Holy Family Route’ project This was one of the most important national projects supervised by the Ministry
          of Local Development in coordination with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

          Eight governorates (Cairo, Beheira, Sharqiya, Gharbiya, Kafr El-Sheikh, Minya, Assiout, and North Sinai ) are currently involved in the project. Governorate authorities have been paving roads and developing areas along the route travelled by the Holy Family and providing stopping points on the route with tourist facilities.
