Where the poorest villages in Egypt stand from the MDGs?

Progress towards Achieving the MDGs in Egypt:

Comparison of the Situation at the Poorest Villages to the National Level

By: Basant Yousif and Eman Refaat

Set by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) as human development goals to be achieved by 2015

and adopted by world leaders in 2000, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) provide a framework for

the entire international community to work together towards a common end, thereby making sure that human

development reaches everyone, everywhere. The MDGs also provide concrete, numerical benchmarks for

different dimensions of human development that, if achieved, would cut world poverty by half, save tens of

millions of lives, and billions more people will have the opportunity to benefit from global economy. The eight

MDGs are:

Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education

Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women

Goal 4: Reduce child mortality rates

Goal 5: Improve maternal health

Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases

Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability

Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development

These eight MDGs break down into 21 quantifiable targets that are measured by 60 indicators. Thus a

framework is provided for the entire UN system to work coherently towards a common end. The MDGs can be

achieved through sound national development policies, effective investment in key human development sectors

and international support. This is true even in the poorest countries and those recovering from conflict and

natural disasters.

Less than Two Years to the Deadline!! 

April 5th, 2013 marked the 1000-day milestone until the 2015 target date to achieve the MDGs. All countries

will have to report on their progress towards achieving the MDGs. In Egypt it is important to measure the

progress on regular intervals to get a sense of what would be achieved by the target date and to take corrective

measures to improve the achievement rate. However, measuring the progress towards the MDGs provides a

picture of the achievement of human development indicators at the national level; i.e. using averages of data

representing the national level. This does not provide enough representation of the conditions of the most

vulnerable groups, who mostly exist in the countryside, hence does not sufficiently inform social development

policies at a time when Egypt is keen on progressing on the path of social justice.

This paper attempts to compare the situation of human development at the national level to the level of the

poorest 151 villages in Egypt, where 84% of citizens are poor, using the MDGs benchmarks with a view to

testing and highlighting evident inequalities between the two levels. The results of the paper, hence, points out

the legitimate need of the Egyptian government to continue its strategy of spatial targeting of poverty through

the continuation of the 1000 villages program.

This paper analyzes data from two surveys; these two surveys are conducted as part of the monitoring

and evaluation system with regard to the poorest 1000 village government initiative in Egypt1. The first survey

include 151 poor villages in the 1000 poorest villages in Egypt in the period between November-December

2009, and the second survey is Maternal Child Health (MCH) on 109 villages which is also a part of the 1000

poorest villages in January 2011. For national level, the data is from The official United Nation Site for MDGs

indicators2.

                                                            1 The first phase of the initiative consists of choosing the poorest 151 village according to the poverty map definition (designed by the World Bank and the Egyptian ministry of planning).  2http://mdgs.un.org/unsd/mdg/Data.aspx.Demographic and Health Survey of Egypt 2008 (DHS) and Household Income, Expenditure, and Consumption Survey,

HIECS 2010/2011 were used.

given the very low payment of such labor and its irregular pattern, the poverty rate in the 151 villages is still higher than the national level. Reducing the proportion of population below $1 (ppp) per day to half was achieved at the national level, while in the 151 poor villages the same proportion is in deterioration, it was 55% in 2009. Therefore, there is a need for geographical targeting and for supporting poor families in order to reduce the proportion. Also, transferring a higher degree of consumption to raise the poor above the poverty line is needed in order to reduce the poverty gap in the 151 poor villages and achieve an acceptable poverty gap.

relief.

Worldwide, tariffs imposed by developed countries on products from developing countries have remained

largely unchanged since 2004, except for agricultural products. Bilateral aid to sub-Saharan Africa fell by

development in the last few years in the field of information and communication technology. However,

telephone lines per 100 populations are only 10.6 at the national level, but this is replaced by cellular

subscribers per 100 populations which reached 101. The poorest villages are lagging behind the national level

with regard to cellular communication.

 

 

Conclusion: 

This report has used  the  indicators of  the Millennium Development Goals  (MDGs)  to compare  the status of 

development  in  the poorest 151 villages  in Egypt  to  the na onal average. The comparison  reveals  that  the 

poorest villages are lagging behind; the gap in many cases is alarming and indicative of stark inequalities that 

raise concern and call for action. Research results, therefore, point out to the responsibility of the government 

to  con nue  its  1000  villages’  development  program.  The  research  also  provides  valuable  background 

information  as  to  what  this  national  program  should  focus  on.  For  instance,  the  provision  of  vocational 

training and  technical education  in  those villages will  improve educa on  indicators  (MDG2) and will  impact 

posi vely  on  poverty  allevia on  (MDG1).  Also,  the  provision  of  basic  healthcare  facilities  in  the  poorest 

villages can improve indicators under MDGs 4, 5 and 6. Last but not least, the provision of improved water and 

sanita on services in the poorest villages (MDG7) will improve the quality of life generally and reduce health 

hazards  in  those villages.  It  is  recommended  to collect  information  for  the MDGs  indicators at  the villages’ 

level and to periodically compare them to the national average to ensure equity and to offer orientation to 

programs of spatial targeting of poverty.
