This decision comes within the framework of “Egypt Vision 2030”, which aims to improve the quality of life for citizens, especially the most needy groups, by investing in human capital and promoting social justice.
The increase in allocations directed to human development is part of a comprehensive vision that aims to improve the various aspects that affect the lives of citizens, and this includes supporting social programs such as “Solidarity and Dignity,” which provides financial assistance to the most needy families, in addition to financing the new social package to ensure an adequate standard of living, as well as human development programs such as the “Beginning” initiative. These measures not only enhance social stability, but also contribute to improving economic productivity by providing an appropriate environment for growth and investment.
Education and health are pillars of sustainable development
Education and health constitute the cornerstone of any efforts aimed at achieving sustainable human development, and increasing allocations in the general budget for these sectors will contribute to improving the quality of education, whether through developing the infrastructure of schools and universities, or by providing training and qualification programs for teachers, ensuring the provision of education that suits the needs of the labor market. Also, focusing on technical education and vocational training can enhance the ability of young people to integrate into the labor market, and all of this contributes to achieving Goal (4) of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) “Quality Education”.

Achieving social justice
Within the framework of promoting sustainable development, efforts are not limited only to controlling spending, but also include ensuring that resources are distributed fairly, which achieves effective support for the most needy groups, and achieving social justice is one of the main motivations for these directives. The government aims to ensure that support reaches the most needy groups, while improving distribution mechanisms to achieve the highest levels of efficiency and transparency, and this is consistent with Goal (10) of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Reducing inequalities, which focuses on reducing economic and social gaps within countries.
