National policies related to food, land, and water (FLW) systems in Egypt

Executive Summary This ATTACHED report evaluates the coherence of national policies related to food, land, and water (FLW) systems in Egypt to develop productive, responsive, and resilient agrifood systems. The OECD has defined "coherence" as a key policy evaluation criterion to capture the interconnectedness between two or more policy areas to maximize the benefits and mitigate negative interactions.

Policy coherence comes in various shapes: vertical across sectors, horizontal across institutional levels, and normative across developmental impacts. Thus, this report studies the interactions between FLW systems in public policy to identify their synergies and trade-offs and to analyze the current institutional structure and the power dynamics influencing its governance. It offers actionable recommendations for enhancing cross-coordination mechanisms among various stakeholders, integrating policy processes across different policy arenas, understanding political economy determinants, and identifying expected investments to manage Egypt’s scarce water and land resources for improved economic and social prosperity.
