These units hold economic, social and environmental yields and contribute to supporting the achievement of sustainable rural development. It is through the Rawabet project that successful partnerships were created between Egypt, development partners, private sector, small farmers, and the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Tariq Rahmi, Governor of Gharbiya, praised the Rawabet project for developing value chains for the dairy sector in his governorate, indicating that it is one of the top dairy producing cities in Egypt. Bilal emphasized that connecting the value chains of the dairy sector is a fundamental factor in developing a sustainable system, through which all stakeholders can add value and achieve good yields. “Egypt Youth Employment (EYE RAWABET): Jobs and Private Sector Development in Rural Egypt” is developed in cooperation with the ILO and the Norwegian government, with a development financing worth $3.78 million.
