The “Human Security through Inclusive Socioeconomic Development in Upper Egypt” project – known as Hayat II - is financed by the Embassy of Switzerland’s Office for International Cooperation at a value of US$ 1.2 million over the next 3 years. It will be implemented by UNIDO in collaboration with Egypt’s Ministry of Local Development and the Governorate of Sohag.
The project will address root causes of unemployment in Sohag including quality of education and access to finance. By focusing on Sohag’s promising agricultural sector, Hayat II will provide young men, women and children with innovative support schemes that can help boost their entrepreneurship skills and generate income.
