He also highlighted the government’s efforts to create a supportive climate for environmental investment, including private-sector participation in upgrading and establishing waste facilities to address climate change.
Mr Robert Valk praised the coordination between project partners and described the project’s expected environmental and economic benefits. He also commended Egypt’s expansion of clean energy and the government’s integration of the private sector into waste management and manufacturing.
