Establishing Partnerships to Provide Regional Solutions with a Global Perspective

Since its creation, the EAPD has been keen to support the efforts of African and Islamic countries to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Including:

SDG2: End hunger, achieve food security & promote sustainable agriculture

Agriculture is a priority work-area of the EAPD. Egypt is rich in expertise in this field and the SDG2 is of crucial importance to the region. The Egyptian International Center for Agriculture has been a trusted and reliable partner of ours and together we have designed and delivered many capacity building programs.

SDG3: Ensure healthy lives & promote well-being for all

Our strong partnerships with the Egyptian Centers of Excellence in the health sector as well as with the Ministry of Health, the faculty of Nursing and the Alexandria Regional Center for Women’s Health & Development are enabling us to help African countries achieve SDG3. 

SDG5: Achieve gender equality & empower all women & girls

Achieving gender equality and empowering women (SDG5) is also very high on our agenda because development cannot be achieved or sustained without the full involvement of women. As such, we collaborate with the Egyptian National Council for Women to design and deliver training courses tailored to women from the continent on various issues.

SDG16: Promote just, peaceful & inclusive societies

Development and security are closely interlinked. This is why EAPD is collaborating with national partners to support other African countries implement SDG16 related to the promotion of just,peaceful and inclusive societies. Through solid partnerships with the Ministry of Justice, the Administrative Control Authority, the Armed Forces and the Police Academy, many officials from the continent are receiving training                                   programs on issues such as human trafficking, anti-terrorism measures and humanitarian law.
