The Facility Investing for Employment (IFE) will launch a new sector-open call for proposals in Egypt on 15 April 2026, offering co-financing grants aimed at supporting private-sector job creation and workforce development. The initiative invites companies, as well as public and non-profit organizations, to submit project proposals focused on generating sustainable employment opportunities in Egypt. Supported activities may include investments in production facilities, equipment, skills development programs, and workforce training linked to job creation projects. This additional component will be available only to applicants who present strong proposals for job creation locally. Second stage: shortlisted applicants will be invited to submit fully developed project proposals, which will undergo detailed evaluation.
