Egypt - Social Fund Project
As part of a continuing effort to ensure a social safety net associated with economic reform, and in response to the adverse effects of the recent Gulf crisis, the proposed project will be the first phase of an overall program aimed at addressing the immediate and pressing needs of those most vulnerable to the reform process, in addition to facilitating the reintegration of Egyptian workers returning from Kuwait and Iraq. The project's main objective is to reinforce prospects of success of the reforms to be undertaken by the economic reform and structural adjustment program (ERSAP). In line with this objective, the project will support six core programs : 1) the provision of essential municipal services; 2) improvements to essential public transport services; 3) a community development program including improvements in basic and primary health care provision, immunization programs, and mother and child nutrition programs; 4) an enterprise development program; 5) a labor mobility program; and 6) an institutional development program.
