Project Overview and Role:
USAID 's Trade Reform and Development in Egypt (TRADE) project builds on
decades of U.S. investments in Egyptian businesses and economic policy with
the aim of substantially increasing Egyptian exports from Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs). The TRADE project focuses on seven selected sectors:
engineering products, food processing, home textiles, ready-made garments,
chemicals, printing and packaging, and building materials. Through the
project, USAID works with the Government of Egypt to improve the trade and
investment policy environment and reduce barriers to trade. USAID also
partners with business associations and export councils to strengthen the
trade services ecosystem for small- and medium-sized exporters, as well as
with private companies to help them access new international markets to
increase export sales. TRADE tackles many trade and investment-related issues
to sustainably increase Egyptian exports and drive economic growth.
