This report takes stock of the key achievements of UNDP Egypt's work during the period of 2011 and 2014, highlighting results that have helped national authorities and organizations improve the living conditions of millions of Egyptians. The results are also the outcome of exceptional collaboration with the government, state institutions, civil society, academic bodies, the private sector, UN agencies as well as donors and international development agencies.

The GES is a corporate certification process that aims to recognize good performance of UNDP Country Offices in delivering transformational gender results.
