Egypt broadens food support program
The Egyptian government plans to expand the subsidized cash support system to include a larger range of basic food items, aiming to improve the support distribution mechanism and increase beneficiaries' options. The list of supported goods will be expanded to include meats, grains, tea, milk, lentils, eggs, and beans, in addition to the current items such as oil, sugar, and pasta. The goal of this expansion is to promote social justice and empower citizens with greater choice, focusing on developing and enhancing the efficiency of the system, as part of the country's shift toward relying on direct cash support rather than in-kind assistance. Currently, about 60 million Egyptians benefit from the ration card system, highlighting the importance of these adjustments in improving the quality of support provided.
