Towards a more holistic approach to development in Upper Egypt

Individual projects in Upper Egypt are not enough to achieve real and sustainable development, Ziad Bahaa El Din writes for Al Shorouk. He urges the state to adopt a more holistic approach to economic and social development in the country’s poorest governorates. Egypt, he says, must upgrade the collapsing public services, complete work on basic infrastructure and facilities, and boost training and job creation to address youth unemployment.
