Egypt receives US$10.3 billion in green funding during COP27

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi followed up on the results of the World Climate Summit COP27, which was held recently in Sharm el-Sheikh, with regard to mobilizing concessional development funds for the benefit of the national platform for green projects “Novi”.

The funding totaled around US$10.3 billion through agreements and funding packages for government sectors from multilateral development partners within a bilateral framework.

These aim to implement a number of national projects as part of the Novi program, including water, food and energy, in addition to the transport sector.

This came on Monday during meeting for President Sisi with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, and Minister of International Cooperation Rania al-Mashat.

President Sisi ordered to leverage the funding mobilized for the sake of development and improving the living standards of the citizens, particularly in villages, in integration with the relevant presidential initiatives – particularly in the sectors of irrigation and agriculture.

This aims to support farmers, increase crop productivity and diversify agricultural crops, and hence increase economic return and income.

This is in addition to disseminating advanced methods and state-of-the-art technology to adapt to climate change and leverage the water resources available.
