Egypt is the first country to localize SDGs in a way that depends on setting quantitative targets for each governorate to achieve, with the aim of accelerating the achievement of SDGs in Egypt.
In this context, the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, in cooperation with the United Nations Population Fund and Baseera Center, launched “SDGs Localization at the Governorate Level” Project. We focused in the first phase of the Project on setting quantitative targets for indicators to follow up achievement of SDGs in each governorate. This helps the governorate to develop appropriate plans and determine its priorities in order to achieve these goals. During the second phase of the project, five governorates were selected to hold workshops with planning and follow-up officials in order to familiarize them with the sustainable development goals, their indicators, and the quantitative targets for each governorate. During the third phase of the project, the rest of the governorates of the Republic were covered.
During its three phases, a number of research papers was prepared in the Project. This paper is one of the important papers issued in the Project, as it discusses the current situation of the planning system in Egypt and the proposed mechanisms for promoting SDGs localization at the governorate level in Egypt. The Project in general focuses on the situation of Egypt.
However, and as the planning system in Egypt is similar to the planning system in many Arab countries, the Arab countries can benefit from this paper to develop their planning system in a way helping acceleration of achieving SDGs in the Arab countries in general.
I accordingly present this paper and hope that it will contribute to enriching the field of SDGs in Egypt, so that Egypt will achieve its goal of improving the situation and well-being of the Egyptian people.
