This report on Egypt is one of three country case studies under Phase 2 of an umbrella project, The Disruptive Energy Transition and Opportunities for Job Creation in the Middle East and North Africa. Egypt has set ambitious targets for the growth of the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors. The clean energy transition, by driving the growth of the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors, should have a positive impact on the Egyptian labor market. In this second phase of the same project, the World Bank aims to assess the opportunities and challenges to realize this job creation potential and to help countries formulate, adopt, and implement relevant policies, incentive systems, infrastructure, institutions, programs, and human capital development frameworks. In particular, frameworks will support an enabling environment for job creation and transformation, particularly to develop the green workforce necessary for the clean energy transition. This report focuses on the renewable energy sector (solar photovoltaic, concentrated solar power, and wind), as well as on energy efficiency in the buildings sector. Aside from providing inputs to clean energy and education projects, this study has also informed the recent Egypt Country Climate and Development Report.
