The following section comprises issues that transcend across all pillars of sustainable development. Firstly, Women empowerment and youth employment are imperative towards ensuring that growth is inclusive and sustainable. As part of Egypt's Vision 2030 national strategy, the GoE is breaking down barriers in women and youth employment by empowering the most vulnerable rural women and youth with the necessary resources and skills to improve their employability and self-reliance. Secondly, digital transformation, described as, the integration of digital technology into all business areas, has fundamentally changed how you operate and deliver value to customers.

Digital Innovation

Digitalization innovation is the use of digital technologies and digitized data to influence how we work. It has transformed how customers and companies engage and interact, and has created new digital revenue streams. According to the World Bank, digital identification has allowed millions of marginalized people to prove who they are, exercise their rights, and avail essential services like health or education.

Youth Employment

Egypt's youth represent an opportunity that, if not harnessed through inclusive growth, meaningful job opportunities, and social engagement, is likely to have adverse security ramifications for Egypt and the region. Creating jobs, increasing socio-economic chances and reducing unemployment rates are vital priorities for the Government. Because of the increasing mismatch of education and occupation among graduates not equipped for the 21st-century job market, Egyptian youth find themselves increasingly economically disadvantaged.
