The third session of the Egypt CSR Forum in Cairo will start on Monday under the title “the role of the private sector in supporting the comprehensive economic programme for achieving sustainable development” with the presence of a number of public figures, businesspeople, and representatives of civil society and international organisations. Hassan Moustafa, CEO of CSR Egypt and president of the forum, said the company is glad that all parties involved in community work and service meet in one event to discuss issues and pay attention to all opportunities that drive development in Egypt. Therefore, a number of international experts in the field of sustainability and development work, a number of executives, and heads of some international companies are invited to attend the forum to enrich its activities, together with companies operating in the Egyptian market. He pointed out that the forum sheds lights on the “engines of sustainable development” by supporting and motivating industrial zones and emerging projects, legislative and legal reforms, and talking about the importance of charitable investment funds. The forum will also discuss the “investment plan for Egyptian governorates” and the ability of governorates to attract investments, focusing on quality of life in the countryside and how to create an added value for each Egyptian governorate, and the mechanisms of integration between government plans and the private sector to develop governorates.
