Partnering for Sustainable Growth in Egypt

Aligning private sector ambition with Egypt’s Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals

The Value of Partnership

In the evolving landscape of global development, the United Nations is investing more deeply in its role as a facilitator of like-minded partners to help solve some of the world’s most stubborn challenges. In Egypt, the government’s Vision 2030 strategy, the country’s booming private sector, and the enormous Toolkit of the United Nations provides an opportunity to bridge private and commercial ambition and sustainable and inclusive development. The UN’s approach in Egypt is rooted in Shared Value and has moved beyond donations, albeit an important component of some UN operations

Partnerships and collaboration are essential. The UN is partnering to invest in partnerships in which commercial ROI can help fuel social and environmental progress. The UN recognizes that the private sector may share similar social development motivations while desiring a positive return on investment. The United Nations in Egypt is excited about the opportunity to collaborate. There are multiple ways to partner and/or align private sector efforts with the UN.

How to Partner with the UN

Egypt's non-governmental sectors are increasingly competitive and international. Success in the midst of competition and challenges means finding good partners to help an organization succeed.
