The project's aim is to reclaim desert lands and cultivate them using groundwater. It was clarified that the project is being implemented under directives aimed at achieving tangible results, not for monopolization, with a focus on creating job opportunities for small farmers and residents of Upper Egypt as part of the national security strategy. He also highlighted the importance of water availability for expanding agriculture, noting that so far more than half a million feddans have been cultivated, with ongoing efforts to increase cultivated areas and ensure food security.
