Egypt

CIM’s strategic activities in Egypt take place mainly in the development policy priority areas agreed between Egypt and Germany. These areas are:

• environmental and climate protection, including renewable energy promotion
• water supply and wastewater disposal
• private sector reform and vocational training.

Because of the strategic situation in the Near East, Egypt is a priority partner country in German and international Development Cooperation. CIM, too, has a larger programme in Egypt than in other countries in the region. CIM is working to expand future cooperation, particularly in private sector promotion, vocational training and waste management. 

In response to the request of partners with special development policy relevance, CIM is also working in the field of Egyptian culture. An integrated expert is supporting the Supreme Council of Antiquities in training curators. Here CIM uses its scope for action outside development policy priority areas. 

With the Returning Experts Programme, CIM also supports, as it has for years, numerous Egyptian experts returning to Egypt after studying, undertaking vocational training or working in Germany. Most of them become university lecturers, principally in technical subjects.
