Egypt’s Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli attended on Tuesday the signing of a cooperation protocol between the planning and economic development and finance ministries on the financial incentive programme of the National Project for Development of the Egyptian Family (NPDEF).
The NPDEF was launched by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in February 2022.
The cooperation protocol was signed by Planning Minister Hala el Saeid and Finance Minister Mohamed Maait.
The protocol falls within the framework of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s directives to the Finance Ministry to provide sustained support from the State revenues to NPDEF.
The protocol aims at coordinating efforts between the Planning and Economic Development Ministry and the Finance Ministry to implement the president’s directives and follow up on the project’s implementation.
Under the protocol, the Planning and Economic Development Ministry will adopt a set of measures that are intended to activate this protocol, topped by allowing women between the ages of 21 and 45 years to participate in the national project for the development of the Egyptian family that aims at facing the serious challenges posed by overpopulation.
The project is the cornerstone to address the overpopulation crisis out of a comprehensive vision including the health, social, family and economic dimensions. It is implemented over three years (2021-2023). It targets females aged between 21 and 45 years.
