Rural Egypt:

Egypt faces rural poverty and must invest in agriculture, education, healthcare, and infrastructure for sustainable development. Agriculture, employing 25% of the labor force, faces water scarcity, climate change, and inadequate market access. Improving gender disparities in rural areas is essential, as women face limited access to education and healthcare. International cooperation, like IFAD's support, is crucial for rural development. By addressing agricultural challenges, empowering women, and fostering international cooperation, Egypt can achieve inclusive growth and sustainable development for all citizens.
