Egypt and UN sign Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework

The United Nations Sustainable Group website states that the UNSDCF “represents the UN development system’s collective offer to support countries in addressing key Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) priorities and gaps. It begins and ends with an analysis of the national development landscape and SDG priorities, including through the lens of the imperative to leave no one behind.”

According to the UNSDCF document, the framework also “provides guidance to UN Country Teams (UNCTs) as they plan, finance, deliver and evaluate their support to countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), typically over a five-year cycle.”

Egypt’s government had signed a five-year partnership agreement (2018-2022) with the UN under the United Nations Partnership Development Framework (UNPDF).

The UNPDF was fully aligned with Egypt’s Vision 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).      

Egypt signed on Tuesday a new Strategic Partnership Framework with the UN on sustainable development cooperation for the period 2023-2027.

During the ceremony, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly asserted that the signing is a culmination of Egypt’s and the UN’s developmental relations over the years, highlighting Egypt’s role as one of the founders of the organization in 1945.
