Improving regional and rural development for inclusive growth in Egypt
This paper examines how economic growth in Egypt can be made more inclusive through a focus on rural development and reducing regional disparities. Nearly all of the extremely poor in Egypt live in rural areas and 83 percent of them live in Upper Egypt. The youth in those rural areas feel particularly excluded. The paper proposes a three-pronged strategy for dealing with regional inequalities and reducing the rural-urban divide.
