As reported by Egypt Today, the meeting also explored hosting a workshop in Egypt to present EFSD+ mechanisms, providing stakeholders with an understanding of their benefits and operational framework.

What are the six main priorities of the EU-Egypt cooperation?
The collaboration between Egypt and the EU encompasses a wide €7.4 billion strategic framework, addressing six critical priorities: fostering political relations, maintaining economic stability, enhancing investment and trade, enhancing migration frameworks, maintaining security, and increasing citizen-focused initiatives such as education and skills development.
How is the EU supporting Egypt’s economic and social growth?
The financial support package, reported in March by EU President Ursula von der Leyen, includes €5 billion in macro-financial assistance, €1.8 billion in investments, and €600 million in grants. This funding backs trade, renewable energy, culture, education, and other endeavours aimed at driving Egypt’s economic and social growth.
