USAID’s Sector Policy Reform Programs in Egypt: Overall Integrative Report
The report presents the results of a comprehensive assessment of the progress and impact of USAID/Egypt’s Sector Policy Reform (SPR) programs and the accompanying Technical Support for Sector Policy Reform (TSSPR) project, along with recommendations for future SPR/TSSPR activities. It is supplemented by four technical reports on key areas for structural adjustment covered to date by the SPR programs: finance and fiscal policy reforms, trade policy reforms, private sector development policies and environmental policy reforms. Since most of the SPR measures address first generation reforms of incentive and institutional systems, the analysis of their impact is based on empirical methodologies that measure the effect of interventions through the price and interest rate mechanisms.
