She emphasized the public governance review is the first of its kind in Egypt, as it conducted a comprehensive assessment of priority public governance reforms.
The review provided in-depth insights into key drivers and recommendations appropriate to the Egyptian context, to ensure effective implementation of these reforms and address current challenges, Mashat added.
“This comes through supporting the development of a policy framework to follow up and implement the Sustainable Development Agenda (Egypt Vision 2030),” the minister noted.
The review also seeks to strengthen institutional and human capacities, simplify administrative procedures, and enhance transparency and participation through improving public communication and access to information, with a focus on integrating a gender and youth perspective, to support economic development efforts, she said.
Mashat stated that the public governance review also contributes to supporting the Egyptian government by leveraging best practices in member and partner countries in line with the organization’s standards.

It also includes strengthening institutional planning and coordination to ensure the implementation of “Egypt Vision 2030,” conducting functional assessments to identify and document relevant focal points for sustainable development and strategic planning at the level of ministries, the minister said.
