CAIRO - 16 August 2021: The United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), delivered 20 new, locally-manufactured buses to the North Sinai Governorate. These buses, worth $1.8 million, equivalent to EGP 28.4 million, will ensure that communities in Central Sinai have access to workplaces, commerce, education, and government services. USAID Acting Mission Director, Margaret Sancho, and North Sinai Governor, Major General Mohamed Abdel-Fadel Shousha, attended a handover event at the Manufacturing Commercial Vehicles factory in Sharqia Governorate. Ambassador Cohen noted, “The United States, working together with our Egyptian partners, is committed to supporting stabilization and inclusive economic development to lay the foundation for a more prosperous and peaceful future. These buses follow a $50 million U.S. investment in clean water infrastructure in North Sinai.”
