In March 2015, Egypt launched its strategy for sustainable development ‘Egypt Vision 2030’ (SDS), spanning the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, and outlining the broader principles that will guide Egypt in pursuing its developmental goals. Furthermore, cognizant of women’s empowerment being a precondition for inclusive growth, 2030 National Strategy for Women’s Empowerment (NSWE) was launched and endorsed by the President of Egypt.

SP Outcome 2: Women lead, participate in and benefit equally from governance systems;

The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW, and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment.
