Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Thursday honored a number of officials of the “Decent Life” initiative, a national project aimed at upgrading Egypt’s countryside.
Earlier in the day, Sisi attended the first conference on the project, which was attended by more than 15,000 citizens as well as many public figures, media professionals, businessmen and officials of local, regional and international institutions.
The Decent Life project, which aims at upgrading all aspects of life for 4,584 villages in all governorates that represent 58% of Egypt’s population, is estimated at around EGP 700 billion. It focuses on promoting social, health, educational, economic and housing levels as well as all other service sectors in these villages. It also targets eliminating multilateral poverty and investing in developing humans from a comprehensive perspective, in cooperation with all the state bodies concerned.
