PARTNERSHIPS FOR DEVELOPMENT
Empowering MSMEs
Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of every economy. Our strategic partnership with Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency has encouraged growth of MSMEs, job creation (for women and men, young people and persons with disabilities), and alleviated poverty throughout Egypt and helped businesses access financial and non-financial services, adopt new technologies and innovations and also adapt to challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Leaving No One Behind
UNDP contributes to the socio-economic empowerment of women and youth in rural Upper Egypt via skills formation for employability and jobs creation and rural livelihood for local youth - through the Egypt Network for Integrated Development (ENID/El Nidaa). Over the past few years, ENID/El Nidaa has been consolidating its knowledge on best practices for around 50 different activities in 60 different rural locations in collaboration with over 70 local NGOs and Community Development Associations.
Protected Areas
People living in protected areas are key to the areas’ protection. Improving their livelihoods has always been a fundamental pillar of nature conservation.
Putting People at the Core
As a response to COVID-19 -Kemama- a community-based UNDP initiative, in partnership with the UNDP Alternative Finance Lab (AltFinLab) and Neya Foundation, triggered individuals and corporate donations and supported the Egypt Foundation for Integrated Development (ENID/EL Nidaa) in shifting the activity of their Ready-Made Garments factory in Qena governorate to the production of medical masks to meet its high demand in Upper Egypt amid a global pandemic
