Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The purpose of the USAID Egyptian Pioneers activity is to build a more inclusive and capable workforce that elevates sectors critical to Egypt's economic growth. The activity will achieve this purpose through the following three results:
1) GOE ministries and other government institutions at the forefront of Egypt's strategic development have greater leadership and technical capacity to develop and implement policies and practices to advance national priorities.
2) Emerging leaders in non-GOE entities modernize their knowledge, skills, and practice in priority sectors to tackle Egypt's evolving public and private sector challenges and advance Egypt's regional and international competitiveness.
3) Young Egyptians of high financial need gain market-relevant knowledge and skills in fields that situate them to effectively fuel Egypt's long-term inclusive economic growth.
USAID Egyptian Pioneers' implementation, particularly in terms of targeted sectors and degree programs, will be guided by USG and Government of Egypt (GOE) priorities, with a special emphasis on sectors that directly contribute to Egypt's public health and climate change goals.
