The Ministry of International Cooperation (MOIC) and the National Council for Women (NCW), together with the World Economic Forum (WEF) took the initiative to launch “Closing the Gender Gap Accelerator” in July 2020.

Through launching such a model, Egypt is the first country in the Middle East and Africa (MENA) to launch this unique public-private collaboration model supported by the WEF platform.

The model supports public and private leaders “in shaping innovative pathways to promote gender equality, diversity, inclusion and economic mobility” through a three-year action plan, which is central to Egypt’s reform agenda.
