The Sinai Peninsula has been defined as priority area by
the Egyptian National Development Plan, representing the target of
several and important efforts exerted by the Egyptian Government in
terms of provision of basic infrastructures.
The
three-year initiative aims at contributing to the human and social
development of the Northern Sinai by supporting the agro-food sector. In
particular, the project will be addressed to the overall production
chain of date palms and olives, from harvesting to selling, with special
attention for research and development activities. An Environmental
Quality Standard - EQS will be identified and then adopted by
enterprises of the sector.
In order
to create a sustainable development model, which could be applied to
further areas in the country, the first beneficiaries of the
intervention will be the most vulnerable groups in the community, who
will benefit from the creation of income generating activities, with
relevant impact on female employment.
