The United Nations World Food Program\u00a0(WFP)<\/a> and the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development are working together to expand rural development to 90 villages in six governorates at a cost of about $7.6 million.<\/p>\n

WFP Chief of Staff, Gresham Barrett, this week visited joint Government and WFP programs in the Upper Egypt city of Luxor, looking at projects promoting women\u2019s economic empowerment, rural development and education.<\/p>\n

The visit took place at \u2018El Boghdadi\u2019 village, one of the 123 communities supported under the rural development program run by WFP and the Government.<\/p>\n

The delegation toured consolidated land plants and learned about improved agro-processing and irrigation techniques. Together, the interventions have increased smallholder farmers\u2019 income by 30 percent and significantly reduced crop-losses as well as water usage by more than 25 percent.<\/p>\n

Following the Government\u2019s request to scale-up this successful rural development model to 1 million smallholder farmers, WFP and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development are working together to expand the model to 90 villages in 6 governorates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the COVID-19 pandemic, the sustainability of development programs has been tested and we\u2019re happy to see that the approach taken in Egypt has withstood this test,\u201d said WFP Chief of Staff, Gresham Barrett. \u201cBy empowering all members of a household, these interventions allow families and their communities to achieve lasting positive change in agriculture, nutrition, food security and education.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI highly commend the existing collaboration between the Government of Egypt and WFP\u00a0 in improving food security and resilience of vulnerable communities, a high priority in Egypt’s Vision 2030. The Government of Egypt is committed to making the most of its strategic partnership with the UN and its specialized agencies to not only advance national development priorities but also to support development in the region and neighboring African countries,\u201d said former WFP Executive Board President, and current Ambassador of Egypt in Rome, Hisham Badr.<\/p>\n

The delegation also visited one of the 120 flagship \u2018Community Hubs\u2019 developed jointly by the Ministry of Education and WFP. The \u2018Community Hubs\u2019 model involves transforming\u00a0 community schools (one-classroom, multi-grade schools) with technological tools and internet connectivity. This allows them to serve as \u201cknowledge hubs\u201d promoting digital learning and acting as knowledge-sharing platforms for the community at large.<\/p>\n

The visit concluded with a tour of the ‘Luxor Coordination Center for Knowledge Sharing and Innovation to Promote Resilience in Upper Egypt’. The Center, managed jointly by the Government and WFP, supports the 2030 Agenda and national developmental priorities through the exchange of best practices and innovations among Government and development entities. Among the Center\u2019s services, an\u00a0online platform<\/a>\u00a0was established highlighting Egypt’s successful development practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government of Egypt and WFP have established a very strong foundation of development work that has proven effective and sustainable in empowering vulnerable communities economically and socially. I am confident that with the support of our donors and partners that we\u2019ll be able to expand these successful interventions further,\u201c said WFP Representative and Country Director in Egypt Menghestab Haile.<\/p>\n
