Egypt is considered the first country to undertake the localization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), following the approach of establishing quantitative targets for each governorate to achieve, with the aim of accelerating the achievement of the SDGs in Egypt.
In this context, the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development (MPED), in partnership with the Egyptian Center for Public Opinion Research (Baseera) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), launched the Project for the Localization of the Sustainable Development Goals at Governorate Level. Phase I focused on establishing quantitative targets for each governorate in each of the SDG achievement indicators, which helps the governorate to develop the appropriate plans, and arrange its priorities, to achieve these targets. During Phase II, five governorates were selected to host workshops attended by the Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) officials in order to introduce them to the SDGs, their indicators, and the quantitative targets established for each governorate. During Phase III, the remaining governorates were covered.
This report presents both the methodology used in calculating the SDG indicators’ targets at governorate level, as well as the results. This report represents the foundation on which the SDG localization process at governorate level is based, as it allows each governorate to identify the targets it needs to achieve by 2030, which should help it in developing the appropriate plans.
The first version of this report was issued in 2018. This revised version includes a number of additional indicators, as well as more details on the methodology of calculating the targets. In the case of indicators for which recent data covering the years after 2015 were available, such data was used in monitoring trends in indicators’ values and comparing such values to relevant targets Egypt should have achieved in these years.
