OPEN// Egypt, UNHCR, UNDP launch Egypt Refugee and Resilience Response Plan
CAIRO, June 30 (MENA) - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates, in collaboration with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), launched the 2025 Egypt Refugee and Resilience Response Plan (ERRRP) to support refugees and host communities, appealing for US $339 million to address the growing needs of refugees and host communities. The appeal brings together the United Nations agencies, humanitarian and development partners, ministries, government entities, civil society and refugee-led organizations to support 1.8 million refugees, asylum-seekers, and affected host communities throughout 2025 with life-saving activities and critical services including education, health, protection, cash assistance, livelihoods, and food security. 'The international community's role is crucial in preventing further displacement, while also scaling up the response and resources for refugees and host communities, in an equitable and responsible manner. Egypt has continuously offered refuge to those fleeing conflict and persecution, adopting an out-of-camp policy and implementing inclusive policies. Furthermore, the Egypt 2030 Vision is guided by the 'leave no one behind' principle, ensuring that refugees and asylum-seekers are on equal footing with Egyptians' said Wael Badawi, Deputy Assistant Foreign Minister for Migration and Refugee Affairs and for Combating Human Trafficking. The ERRRP operates under the leadership of the Government of Egypt as a coordination, implementation and resource mobilization mechanism that consolidates collective efforts to respond to humanitarian and development challenges. It supports national institutions to continue to offer protection to those in need, providing lifesaving assistance, strengthening national systems, and reinforcing peaceful co-existence of refugees and host communities.
