UN Country Team Annual Results Report 2023

This is the first report under the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2027. The UNSDCF was signed jointly by the UN and the Government of Egypt in May 2023 and it outlines the UN Country Team (UNCT)’s collaborative work in support of national efforts to adopt inclusive and sustainable development pathways and reach the targets of Egypt’s Vision 2030.

The UN in Egypt delivered over US$ 209 million of activities in 2023. This report presents the impact of the UN’s work across five UNSDCF outcome areas, detailing the collective achievements of all 28 UN agencies, funds, and programmes. 

This includes efforts to ensure strengthened human capital with a focus on children and youth (outcome 1); diversified, inclusive and environmentally sustainable economic development (outcome 2); environmental sustainability and climate resilience (outcome 3); good governance, transparency, and rule of law (outcome 4) and women and girls’ empowerment (outcome 5). Throughout the UNSDCF, the UNCT has applied five inter-related programming principles: leave no one behind; human rights, gender equality and women’s empowerment; sustainability and resilience; and accountability.

The UN in Egypt’s work in 2023 continued to be guided by the principle of leaving no one behind. The UN partnered with the government to strengthen overall implementation of the SDGs through joint development of a new Integrated National Financing Strategy, a set of prioritized reforms and initiatives for securing Egypt’s sustainable financing needs.
