Project Overview
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 six selected sectors:
engineering products, food processing, home textiles, ready-made garments,
chemicals, 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.
