    The Nile Delta region, which hosts almost half of Egypt’s population, is a key source, transit and destination area for migrants and refugees.

To support the Government of Egypt’s commitment to advance opportunities for its young population, efforts that promote an integrated, coordinated and people-centered approach are essential to deal with the complexity of the interlinked challenges related to the migration-economic-climate change nexus.
