Evidence snapshot for Egypt
Egypt has demonstrated impact across social protection, skills development, and technology innovation. The Takaful and Karama cash-transfer programme enrolled 4.67 million households and achieved an 8.4% rise in household consumption, a 12-point reduction in poverty vulnerability, and 9–21-point school-enrolment gains, while Helm Academy trained approximately 8,000 individuals in vocational skills with 40% securing employment within six months. Flat6Labs Cairo has graduated over 100 startups that raised $162 million in follow-on funding, and a blind Egyptian entrepreneur built ScribeMe, an AI visual-description app now used across 140 countries in 20 languages. These practices span cash transfers (quasi-experimental evidence), vocational training and accessible employment (observational), startup acceleration (self-reported aggregate outcomes), and technology innovation (descriptive reporting), though the accelerator and app figures rely on self-reporting rather than independent audit.
