The Ministry of Local Development is the Egyptian government body responsible for local development. It is currently headed by Mahmoud Youssry Shaarawy.[1]

The Ministry of Local Development was established by the decision of the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt with decree No. 325 of 1999. One of the objectives for establishing the Ministry was to coordinate the various efforts for the development of local communities and administration units in partnership with the governorates of Egypt.[2]

Initiatives

In 2018, the ministry requested that restrictions on Tuk Tuk licensing be lifted, in order to ease congestion in cities.[3]
