Egypt’s Ministry of Planning emphasized that empowering women through targeted investment is essential for sustainable development and long-term economic growth. Officials highlighted that gender-inclusive policies not only promote social equity but also enhance productivity, expand the labor force, and contribute to broader national progress. By integrating more women into the formal economy and supporting their participation in education, entrepreneurship, and leadership roles, the country can unlock significant economic potential.
The ministry pointed to ongoing initiatives aimed at improving access to finance, vocational training, and digital skills for women, particularly in rural areas and underserved communities. These efforts are aligned with Egypt’s broader development strategy, which prioritizes human capital development as a cornerstone of economic transformation.
Investing in women is not merely a social imperative but a strategic economic decision, the ministry noted, as it leads to higher household incomes, improved child welfare, and stronger community resilience. When women thrive, entire families and societies benefit, creating a ripple effect across sectors such as health, education, and consumption.
The statement reaffirmed the government’s commitment to advancing gender equality through legislative reforms, institutional support, and public-private partnerships. Closing gender gaps in employment and wages remains a priority, alongside expanding childcare services and promoting flexible work arrangements to enable greater female workforce participation.
Ultimately, the ministry stressed that national development cannot be achieved without the full inclusion of women, whose contributions are vital to building a more prosperous and equitable future.
