Evidence snapshot for Egypt
Egypt has implemented several evidence-backed programmes spanning social protection, agriculture, trade, and digital skills. Takaful and Karama's cash transfers reached 4.67 million households and increased consumption by 8.4% while reducing poverty vulnerability by 12 percentage points, while classroom-based digital-literacy training raised smallholder farmers' adoption of the Mahsoly app by 20 percentage points. On the trade side, NAFEZA's AI-powered customs system cut average clearance times from 15 to 5 days and achieved a 22% fraud detection rate. The evidence is strongest for impact evaluation (cash transfers and digital training use quasi-experimental and RCT designs), while the Digital Egypt Pioneers Initiative targets 30,095+ beneficiaries in ICT and AI skills but lacks quantified outcome data.
