Summary: | This sector report on Challenges and
Priorities for Rural Development analyzes why Upper Egypt
has lagged behind the rest of the country and to help the
Government of Egypt and stakeholders to define a framework
for interventions to promote broad-based economic growth and
human development that will reach the poor and improve
welfare in rural Upper Egypt. To achieve this objective, the
strategic framework for intervention proposed here has two
dimensions. The first is to foster broad-based economic
growth based on agricultural development and off-farm
activities. The second is to enhance access to basic
infrastructure and services by promoting local level
planning and civil society engagement. |
