Contributing to the refinement of a strategy to meet this objective, is the main goal of this report. The approach outlined in this report uses three distinct lenses to arrive at an appropriately focused set of priorities: Quantitative evidence: strategic priorities are derived as much as possible from empirical evidence on the nature, and dimensions of poverty in Egypt; 2) Link with ongoing programs: the strategy builds on the existing programs, and policies of the Government of Egypt, suggesting modifications where warranted by the lessons of experience from ongoing efforts; and, 3) Direct impact: the strategy tries to identify measures that have a direct impact on the poor, as opposed to those that are aimed at raising the living standards of the general population, or fixing the problems more generally of a given sector (such as education or health). Thus, the poverty reduction strategy articulated in this report is built around the three pillars of growth, education and social safety nets. 2013-09-09T19:26:06Z 2013-09-09T19:26:06Z 2004-09-25 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/09/5181943/egypt-poverty-reduction-strategy-egypt http://hdl.handle.net/10986/15713 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Poverty Study Economic & Sector Work Middle East and North Africa Egypt, Arab Republic of
