9. Investing in Human Capital
Launched in October during World
Bank Group Annual Meetings
Building blocks of the human capital:
• Survival – Will kids born today
survive to school age?
• School – How much school will
they complete and how much will
they learn?
• Health – Will kids leave school in
good health and be ready for
further learning and/or work?

18. The SDGs open up US$12 trillion of market opportunities in four economic
systems:
• These economic systems represent around 60 percent of the real economy and
are critical to meeting the SDGs.
• To capture these opportunities in full, businesses need to pursue social and
environmental sustainability as avidly as they pursue market share and
shareholder value.
• If a critical mass of companies joins us in doing this now, they will become an
unstoppable force.
• If they don’t, the costs and uncertainty of unsustainable development could
swell until there is no viable world in which to do business.

Notas do Editor
Countries (and regions/cities) have specific ideas of what image to sell.
Some governments want to lift exports and attract more investment.
Some governments are after more tourists; others want to appeal to talented workers or students, while others still, to attract pensioners.
These are such substantial economic gains that even a sliver of a slice is well worth seeking.
Global flows of foreign direct investment although they fell in 2017, amount to $1.43 trillion.
More than half of workers in Silicon Valley were born outside the US
Last year, the tourism sector contributed $7.6tn to the world’s GDP, and it supported 1 in 11 jobs in the global economy.
SDGs are a set of goals that UN member states negotiated and agreed to meeting by the year 2030. They succeed the MDGs
Cross-cutting and integrated – so the point is that progress on one affects progress on others. And that they need to be approached in a holistic manner.
Countries present their progress in VNRs
What better way than for a country, my country, to brand itself as the country that achieves by 2030:
No Poverty
No Hunger
Good health for all
Universal education
Gender equality
Clean Water and Sanitation
Clean and renewable energy
Good jobs
9) Resilient infrastructure, foster sustainable industrialization, innovation
10) Reduce income inequality within and among countries.
11) Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
12) Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
13) Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
14) Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
15) Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems,
16) Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development
In addition, and more importantly, countries can and should develop growth plans around the SDGs and brand themselves as sustainable and resilient economies.
How to achieve the SDG, through mobilizing financing resources, implementation and data, can help drive the economy and also manage the socio-political space.
Sustainable development branding is good for business!
Egypt is recreating its identity, and its future image will follow provided that the content of its identity is properly communicated to the outside world.
The country’s effort to build its positive image will be conditioned by its own factors such as campaigning, trade promotions, industry associations and national policies, and by the local companies’ behavior when dealing with the outside world. A positive image of Egypt , focused on it’s comparative advantages, will reflect on its economy. It will help the economy through direct and indirect sales as well as direct and indirect investments.

Key Messages of Egypt VNR 2018
Egypt is committed to progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Egypt’s Sustainable Development Strategy, Egypt Vision 2030, is in line with SDGs.
The national strategic plan’s three dimensions (economic, social and environmental) are
based on ten pillars covering broadly the SDGs. The plan provides programs, policies and
measurable indicators in order to put Egypt on the right path toward sustainable
development.
Egypt embarked on a very comprehensive and home grown economic reform program
that is supported by the international financial institutions staring November 2016. The
Government of Egypt took very bold and timely measures as well as overdue reforms to
put the economy on the path towards a more stable resilient economy. After a
challenging year, economic fundamentals are stabilizing with reduction in fiscal deficit,
curbing in the rate of inflation, waning in external deficit and increasing in the growth rate
of output; all of these are met with increased confidence from domestic and international
investors. The Government of Egypt is committed to pursuing its agenda of economic
reforms to create an enabling environment for inclusive growth and sustainable
development.
Egypt is mindful of the vulnerable groups who are likely more adversely affected by
stabilization and reform programs. In order not to leave anyone behind, the Government
of Egypt has scaled up its social protection programs and has improved their target
mechanisms. In addition, the Government of Egypt is allocating more resources to the
more deprived areas to provide better quality of public services and infrastructure.
Egypt is pursuing an ambitious plan to upgrade its infrastructure across all sectors and all
regions within the country. The energy sector witnessed a substantial upgrade in its
capacity to produce, transport and distribute electricity. Egypt increased its capacity to
produce electricity by at least 15 Gigawatt of electricity using very advanced, sustainable
and efficient technologies. Indeed, the energy strategy aims at increasing the share of the
renewable energy to reach 42% by 2035. The government has also enacted major reforms
in the legal framework of its electricity sector opening the door for increased participation
of the private sector and effective regulatory role of the state. All of these efforts in the
energy sector are consistent with Egypt’s vision to become the energy hub of the Eastern
Mediterranean.
Egyptian network of highways witnessed major extensions and improvements. The
national highway project is a much needed project to link distant parts of Egypt beyond
the main cities and the Nile Valley in order to create economic opportunities and to
expand beyond the narrow valley.
The growing population consisting mainly of youth represents both a challenge and an
opportunity. It is a challenge since the government needs to continuously scaling up the
country’s infrastructure and housing units especially for low income groups. This explains
Egypt’s heavy investment in infrastructure projects as well as social housing projects. On
the other hand, this young sizeable population would be an asset if these young people
obtain adequate quality education and training that prepare them for the fourth
industrial revolution.
Water scarcity within Egypt and regionally is a key challenge for the growing population;
especially that the agricultural sector consumes almost two thirds of its supply of fresh
water. Ensuring sustainable water resource management is a matter of high priority to
the Government of Egypt.
Egypt Vision 2030 and the 2030 Agenda are implemented by engaging all stakeholders.
The role of the private sector and the civil society is key in the realization of these goals.
The inclusivity and transformability aspects of the 2030 Agenda and its national
counterpart necessitate active contribution of the private sector and the civil society in
the achievement of all the goals. The Government of Egypt realizes this fact and is
capitalizing on the positive synergies between the governmental efforts, private sector
efforts and civil society efforts to achieve this ambitious agenda.
