Overall Attitudes towardthe World Bank Group “Egypt could use the WBG analysis and reports on multiple topics more often to address issues such as food andwater security, poverty, and unemployment issues and solutions. In addition, while there is a focus on sustainability,gender equality, climate change, and equipping the Egyptian workforce with 21st-century skills, there is a lack ofsolutions that pertain to the Egyptian outlook. The programs implemented seem to serve short-term objectives ratherthan long-term strategies t
