Abstract
Within the framework of the ILO’s project Egypt Youth Employment (EYE): Jobs and Private Sector Development in Rural Egypt “RAWABET” the dairy sector/ value chain in Egypt’s Delta has been assessed, and selected as one of the promising sectors in which the project can work to have an impact. The EYE RAWABET project is an ILO Cairo Office project that is funded by the Norwegian government, and is implemented in partnership with the Ministry of International Cooperation. The project aims to stimulate local economic development in rural Egypt through promoting decent private-sector employment opportunities especially within rural micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) along value chains of highest employability and growth potentials.
