| description |
There are challenges that hinder
progress toward the Millennium Development Goals(MDGs),
targets in Egypt. These challenges include the pervasive
differentials and gaps in the delivery, availability, and
quality of publicly financed services and programs, the
gender gaps; the fragmented legal system; and the lack of
opportunity for civil society to participate in the
development process. The report outlines a number of
strategies to accelerate achievement of the MDGs in Egypt,
including: 1) strengthening government stewardship and
regulation, 2) encouraging community participation, 3)
improving targeting of publicly financed services, 4)
enhancing knowledge and awareness and promoting healthy
behaviors, and 5) adopting a multisectoral framework. As
2015 approaches, there will be even greater attention given
to the MDGs. The extent to which they are achieved will
provide a benchmark for assessing how effective governments
and the development community are at supporting human
development. The momentum for achieving the MDGs in Egypt
needs to be sustained to demonstrate that it has the
systems, resources, and structures in place to improve the
lives of its people. It is equally important that the focus
on achieving the MDGs is not at the expense of programs and
priority areas not directly linked to the MDGs. |
