Since 2011, the Swiss Embassy, through its Office for International Cooperation, has been supporting Egypt in its efforts to achieve inclusiveness and accountability in line with the goals set out in its ‘Egypt Vision 2030.’ The Embassy works with state institutions, civil society and the private sector to enhance their collaboration towards implementing effective participation, transparency and accountability measures in the country.

Switzerland’s commitment – focus areas for 2025–2028

Protecting lives, green economic development and improving governance in Egypt

In times of uncertainty and a series of unprecedented external challenges facing Egypt, Switzerland will enhance the focus of its activities on poverty reduction and lifesaving interventions for Egyptians, migrants and refugees. Good governance, including economic governance, and human rights – as well as green and inclusive economic development with a thriving private sector – are key to enabling these objectives. The programme works in the following three priority areas:

1. Migration, Protection and Socio-economic Integration

2. Sustainable and Green Economic Development

3. Human Rights and Governance
