Egypt’s Social Solidarity Minister Sets Out Shift From Support to Empowerment

Egypt’s Minister of Social Solidarity, Maya Morsy, said the ministry’s strategy is based on moving from providing support to fostering empowerment.

Morsy announced a new beginning for the ministry’s approach, describing it as new in both its name and its purpose.

Her remarks placed empowerment at the centre of the ministry’s strategic direction, framing the shift as a change in focus rather than simply a new label.

The announcement did not include details of specific programmes or a timetable for putting the approach into practice.
