New Contract Award in Egypt
Linpico is delighted to announce that we have been awarded a new EuropeAid-funded contract to provide technical assistance to build the capacities of the Ministry of International Cooperation in the field of planning, managing, monitoring and evaluating Official Development Assistance (ODA) to Egypt.
The overall objective of the project will be to develop and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the planning, managing, monitoring and evaluating functions of the Ministry of International Cooperation, in order to optimise the allocation of Official Development Assistance to Egypt in line with current aid effectiveness principles. Through the provision of better aid management, the project thus aims to contribute to the socio-economic welfare of the country.
The project, which commences in the middle of November, will last for the duration of two years. It will involve a team of four experts in the field, as well as in-house Linpico staff, who will be working closely with the Ministry of International Cooperation in Egypt in order to ensure the effective and efficient implementation of the contract.
