It contains background information on previous and current engagement, and details for the consultations.

The online survey will help the WBG understands the main challenges facing Egypt as well as the areas where the World Bank Group can help.

It is a joint strategy of the three WBG institutions - the World Bank, International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) - and will build on their respective strengths and areas of expertise.
