Ministry of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation Launches "Citizen Budget Plans" for All Governorates for the Fiscal Year (2024/2025)
18 April 2025
Dr. Rania Al-Mashat: "Citizen Budget Plans" include detailed data on investments and key development indicators in each governorate, as well as ongoing projects in each governorate.
The Ministry of
Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation has launched the
Citizen Budget Plans for the fiscal year (2024/2025) for all governorates
nationwide.
This aligns with
the principles of the General Planning Law No. 18 of 2022, which emphasizes the
importance of participation and openness to society, in implementation of
Egypt's Vision 2030 and the National Human Rights Strategy regarding the
production and availability of data to citizens for obtaining and circulating
official information, data, and statistics.
H.E. Dr. Rania A.
Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International
Cooperation, affirmed that the Citizen Budget Plans are among the most
important planning documents that help raise awareness among citizens about the
priorities and directions of the annual development plans.
These plans include
detailed information on investments and ongoing projects in each governorate
and their distribution across various sectors, clarifying the impact of these
projects on improving the current status of key development indicators for each
governorate.
The plans also
emphasize the citizen's right to knowledge, enhance frameworks for community
participation, transparency, and accountability, and enable citizens to
understand the directions of the sustainable development plan adopted by the
state.
H.E. Dr. Al-Mashat
pointed out the role of the Citizen Budget Plans in enhancing trust between
citizens and the state by involving citizens in monitoring the implementation
of plans and projects, ensuring citizens' right to access official data,
information, and documents, bridging spatial development gaps, and clarifying
the development return of development plans. This contributes to localizing the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the governorate level.
H.E. Minister
Al-Mashat noted the inclusion of the Citizen Budget Plans on the "SDGs
Acceleration Actions" platform of the United Nations Department of
Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA).
The Citizen's Plans
include the features of the national-level economic and social development plan
for the year (2024/2025), the most important development indicators for each
governorate, the targets of the national project for the development of the
Egyptian countryside "Hayah Karima" in rural governorates, and the
implementation status of the "Green Village" initiative within the
"Hayah Karima" project.
The Citizen's Plans
documents provide detailed information on state-directed investments for each
governorate and their distribution across different sectors, the most prominent
ongoing projects in each sector, as well as the most important economic and
social indicators for each governorate.
This helps citizens
follow up on these projects in their governorate/city/village, which in turn
contributes to integrating citizens into the planning and monitoring systems.
It is worth
mentioning that the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development and
International Cooperation has launched a number of reports and platforms over
the past period as part of its role in enhancing sustainable economic
development efforts.
The Ministry
launched the Annual Report for 2024, as well as the Egypt’s Integrated National
Financing Strategy (E-INFS) for Development, the second follow-up report of the
"NWFE" (Nexus of Water, Food and Energy) country platform, the
Monitoring and Evaluation Manual, the "Afaq wa Foras al-Waza'ef fi
Misr" (Horizons and Job Opportunities in Egypt) platform, as well as the
second phase of the "HAFIZ" Hub for Advisory, Finance and Investment
for Enterprises.
It is worth noting
that the Ministry provides the Citizen Budget Plans for all governorates on its
website and on the "Sharek 2030" mobile application.
