Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi attended on Tuesday the launch of the Egypt Human Development Report 2021. The Report highlights human development during the decade 2011-2020. The launch took place in the country's New Administrative Capital, on the outskirts of Cairo. The United Nations Development Programme in Egypt (UNDP Egypt) has collaborated with the Egyptian Ministry of Planning and Economic Development to produce the report. The Human Development Report reflects the comprehensive development efforts undertaken by the state, which "extend to all aspects of life in Egypt," presidential spokesperson Bassam Rady said in a statement. The report adopts the concepts of "the right to development" and "people are the real wealth of nations" as an intellectual framework for tracking and analysing development progress in Egypt, according to UNDP Egypt's tweet. #HDR adopts the concepts of the "#RightToDevelopment" & tht "ppl are the real wealth of nations" as an intellectual framework for tracking & analyzing dev progress in #Egypt.To learn more abt Egypt's investment in ensuring the #righttodev.
