Social Solidarity compares Egypt and Brazil's social protection
The study visit led by an Egyptian delegation to Brazil focused on examining the social protection system and cash transfer programs such as "Bolsa Família," with the aim of enhancing Egypt's experience in supporting and economically empowering the most vulnerable families. The delegation learned about the Unified Data System "Cadastre Unico," which helps target beneficiaries accurately and reduces waste, in addition to advanced digitization tools and digital services. The results showed that Egypt's "Takaful and Karama" program, launched in 2014 and currently benefiting 4.7 million families—an increase of over 1.7 million since 2014—has contributed to reducing the poverty rate by 2.3% and improving household needs, with expenditure rising from 6.8 billion to 54 billion Egyptian pounds in the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Egypt is also moving towards economic empowerment by linking cash support with labor market programs and vocational development, aiming to shift from mere support to productive activity.
