Manal Awad Stresses Informal Sector’s Role in Waste Management

Egypt’s Minister of Local Development and Environment, Manal Awad, has stressed the importance of integrating the informal sector into the waste management system, describing it as an essential component.

Awad’s remarks came as she met with representatives of a private-sector company. The company’s name was not provided in the available summary.

Her statement placed informal-sector integration at the centre of her message on waste management, recognising the sector as part of the system rather than separate from it.

The brief account did not outline specific measures or a timetable for integration, nor did it provide details of any agreements reached during the meeting.
