POWERED BY BASEERA
An independent mechanism launched in 2017 to monitor the National Strategy for Egyptian Women 2030, ensuring transparency and impartiality in development efforts.
The national duty and responsibility before history necessitate that we accelerate the pace of women's empowerment, preserving their rights and placing them in the position that befits their value, capabilities, and sacrifices throughout history, in commitment to the Egyptian Constitution which expresses the will of the Egyptian people and has established the values of justice and equality, and in implementation of the principles of equal opportunities and the rights it has guaranteed for women, and in line with Egypt's Vision 2030 and its sustainable development strategy that seeks to build a just society, ensuring equal rights and opportunities for its sons and daughters for the highest levels of social integration for all groups, and out of the Egyptian state's belief that stability and progress will only be achieved through ensuring effective participation of women in all aspects of national work.

BaseeraThe Objective of the GGG simulator is to provide a simulation of the Global Gender Gap index in, as it calculates the overall index and Egypt's ranking based on any changes that occur to the indicators calculated from it. The Simulator help decision makers to prioritize the interventions to be made to maximize the improvement in Egypt's rank in the GGG.
BaseeraWomen’s economic empowerment and her participation in labor force have significant positive impact on the children’s health and education and on the growth of the whole economy. Education is considered as a major determinant of female’s economic participation. However, it was observed that women’s achievement in education was not translated into higher female labor force participation. In Egypt, the female labor force participation is among the lowest worldwide with only 22 percent. Moreover, when employed, women are more likely to be in low-earning job with poor conditions and limited opportunities for career advancement and vulnerability to sexual harassment and different types of violence. Women present human capital potential in Egypt; closing gender gap and increasing women’s access to economic opportunities are highly needed for increasing growth, decreasing poverty and achieving sustainable development goals.
BaseeraWomen’s labor force participation and employment rates in Egypt have recovered somewhat in recent years after declining for several years and reaching a low during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some sectors of economic activity are seeing both higher than average employment growth and faster growth for women than for men. These include wholesale and retail trade, accommodation and food services, information and communications, health and social work, manufacturing, and other services, which comprise real estate, professional, technical, administrative, entertainment, and personal services. These sectors offer good prospects for future growth of women’s employment if Egypt’s development trajectory is able to increasingly favor these sectors.
