UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the

humanitarian action and peace and security.

Development Partnership Framework (UNPDF ‎2018-‎2022) for Egypt, KOICA, UN Women
and the Government of Egypt have recently launched a Women's Economic
Empowerment Project. The aim of the UN Women/KOICA project is to economically
empower women through interventions including social norms/perceptions change
in the stereotypes around women's work (especially in non-traditional
sectors), as well as providing internship and job access to young women
graduates, and finally, advocating for the adoption of Women's Empowerment
Principles (WEPs) in the private sector, will be an effective intervention to
support the empowerment of Egyptian women.
