Egypt and the United States have signed new bilateral assistance agreements and amendments totaling over $100 million. These agreements aim to support Egypt's economic reforms, Sustainable Development Plan 2030, and initiatives for private sector-led growth and job creation. The funding reflects the continued support from the American people towards joint U.S.-Egypt priorities in sectors such as water, health, education, agriculture, and trade.
Sherry F. Carlin, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission Director to Egypt, stated: "These agreements reflect our strong and enduring partnership and the impact that our joint efforts have on the people of Egypt." She emphasized collaboration with the Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation to enhance stability and prosperity in Egypt.
The partnership between the United States and Egypt has spanned nearly four decades. During this time, USAID's program in Egypt has amounted to nearly $30 billion since 1978. The focus has been on promoting a healthy, educated, and employed population.
