Sustainable Development Goals in the Spotlight as UN Egypt makes debut participation at the Cairo International Book Fair

For the first time, the UN Egypt family participated in the Cairo International Book Fair, one of the most significant and influential book fairs in the Middle East.

Throughout the event, the UN in Egypt's booth welcomed visitors of all age groups, offering them a chance to explore a selection of key UN and international publications and reports available at the UN Information Center in Cairo’s library—one of the oldest and most prominent libraries of its kind in the region.

The UN Egypt booth also provided visitors with a diverse range of printed publications, digital materials, and videos aimed at raising awareness and sharing success stories, all highlighting the UN’s impactful contributions and its partnership with the Egyptian government to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

These resources reflect the collective efforts of various UN agencies in Egypt, including UNICEF, FAO, UNHCR, WFP, ILO, IOM, UNFPA, OCHA, UN-Habitat, UNV, UN Women, and UNRWA.

Moreover, UN Egypt booth curators and communication officials engaged in insightful, SDG-focused discussions with the visitors, along with other interactive awareness raising activities designed for visiting children. Additionally, young people had the opportunity to learn about UN volunteering opportunities and the application process.
