Ministry of International
Cooperation announced Tuesday launching a new interactive website to visualize
Egypt’s SDG-aligned development story; describing it as the first of its kind
that tracks Egypt’s development according to the global sustainable development
goals.
It clarified that the website aims to bridge Egypt’s local success stories with global and local audiences to provide ready-made roadmaps and blueprints for all countries to follow.
It showcases Egypt’s development through a multilateral lens; illustrating how the Ministry of International Cooperation works to apply the principles of economic diplomacy and foster inclusive partnerships to push Egypt’s development forward in partnership with governments, international development partners, the private sector and civil society, according to the ministry.
Moreover, the website uses various interactive approaches to make it easier for audiences to digest in order to measure Egypt’s progress in achieving sustainable development.
The website allows the user to track the progress and projects being implemented for each SDG goal; exploring each SDG individually to see the number of projects and partners involved to achieve the targets of the goal, through an interactive map of Egypt.
“For each sector, examples of concrete projects through data-driven stories are provided as well; illustrating how Egypt is moving along global trends and development priorities for the next decade in key sectors such as agriculture, transport, energy, health, SMEs and gender equality,” it noted.
Food security has gained increased significance today, particularly due to the increasing global challenges of delivering sufficient food to populations. In the ‘The Future Breadbasket’ page, the website looks at how Egypt is looking beyond just feeding communities, but also empowering communities and strengthening agriculture value chains into “smart farming” to achieve a circular economy.
