1. Background of the Project 1.1. Background

Egypt formulated “five-year plans”, which summarize investment plans for major national five-year projects by ministries and agencies, up to the sixth plan (July 2006– December 2011). After the revolution in 2011, however, it was expected to formulate and implement a more strategic and transparent development plan, which shows and realizes a vision of the new nation and society reflecting the popular will, instead of simply reflecting the demands of ministries and agencies, under the deteriorating economy and increasing civic consciousness. With this situation, the Egyptian government requested Japan in March 2011 to help the formulation of a new national development plan, and Japan supported their planning through JICA’s dispatch of experts for a year and a half. As a result, in June 2012, the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (“MOPIC”) first formulated the “Strategic Framework for Economic and Social Development Plan until 2022” (“Strategic Framework”), which states the outlook and strategies of the national development after the revolution.

MOPIC was planning to formulate and implement a public works investment plan based on the Strategic Framework. The issue was that MOPIC had formulated annual investment plans in a bottom-up style, meaning that they had compiled a list of new works submitted by sector ministries and agencies or regional governments and then assigned the budget per sector or region. They had not created budgeting plans in accordance with a national development policy, in other words, their organization was not ready for planning and they lacked expertise for implementation. The public works budgets managed by MOPIC were approximately 15% of the national finances, and there was a growing need for organizational and human resources development in MOPIC to build a system to implement the budget in a more strategic and structured way, along with the increasing financial deficit and deteriorating economic conditions in recent years.

In order to advance these endeavors, the Egyptian government requested Japan in October 2012, to work on this technical cooperation project with the objectives of organizing the structure, including a planning committee needed for the planning and its implementation, and developing human resources. JICA signed the Record of Discussion (R/D) on the Project in April 2013, after the study on the formulation of the detailed plan in March 2013. The Project could not start as planned because of the political change in 2013, and we kept studying and gathering the information on the national conditions after the change. Thereafter, triggered by the inauguration of President el-Sisi and his new cabinet in June 2014, we started the Project in October 2014. We collected the information and compiled the support plan in a one-year phase of the detailed plan formulation (“Phase 1”), and agreed in September 2015 on the PO (Plan of Operation) and PDM (Project Design Matrix) through M/M (Minutes of Meetings) regarding the R/D change, toward the phase of implementation (“Phase 2”). This project aims to carry out the tasks of Phase 2, in accordance with the agreements in Phase 1.

In June 2014, when the new cabinet was formed, the Ministry of International Corporation was separated from MOPIC, and then was integrated into the Ministry of State for Administrative Development

(MSAD). Currently it is the Ministry of Planning, Monitoring and Administrative Reform (“MOPMAR”). MOPMAR formulates a public investment budget plan every year and submits it to the government.

1.2. Objectives

Egypt currently does not have a complete framework for planning administration. Furthermore, they lack experience in planning policy layers. To resolve these issues of Egyptian government, JICA’s project team has implemented project activities to develop a Master Plan (long-term plan) and mid-term Execution Plan (“EP”) as planning frameworks, and we have also proposed the establishment of a Planning Committee (“PC”) to steer the preparation and execution of plans.

JICA’s project team regards the Sustainable Development Strategy: Egypt’s Vision 2030 (“SDS2030”1) as a long-term plan (Master Plan (“MP”) (A. on Figure 1)), and will understand the directions of the government, important policies, and development guidelines according to the MP to reflect them in the "Execution Plan ("EP")” (B on Figure 1) as a mid-term plan. We have repeatedly proposed and consistently explained to MOPMAR about the importance of flexibly changing and coordinating the EP based on the direction of the long-term plan in consideration of changes in the economic environment and the priority of the policies promoted by the administration of the time.

Figure 1 Basic framework of the Project

1 The formulation of SDS2030 was started by the former MOP around 2014, and was continued after the formation of MOPMAR (June 2014). SDS2030 was then made public by President el-Sisi in February 2016.

The structure of MOPMAR has also changed after signing the R/D, and MOPMAR’s current staff is more likely to lack a full understanding of the context of EP and PC; however, we repeatedly explained that the establishment of PC and development of EP are indispensable for improving planning administration in Egypt.

PDM has established the following Overall Goal:

The process of the national development planning and implementation according to national priories is improved.

That is to say, the objective of execution of operations is to improve the process of planning administration in Egypt based on the national priorities through technical cooperation projects.We did not change the objectives of the Project throughout the implementation period.

1.3. History of the Project

JICA signed the R/D on “Sharing Knowledge on Development and Implementation of the Execution Plans Project in Egypt” ("the Project") with the MOPIC in April 2013. Due to the political change and the succeeding deterioration of government functions in Egypt that took place in July 2013, however, the implementation of the Project was forced to be postponed as shown below (Figure 2).

Figure 2 History of the Project

Subsequently, JICA decided to launch the Project by dividing it into two stages: Phase 1 (October 2014- September 2015) (formulation of a detailed plan) and Phase 2 (October 2015-September 2017) (implementation of the detailed plan agreed on in Phase 1).

During Phase 1, we formulated a detailed plan for Phase 2 based on changes in the circumstances between the time the R/D was signed in 2013 and the time the operations were conducted for Phase 1 in 2015. As revising the PDM and PO, we signed the M/M in September 2015.

After the start of the operations for Phase 2, the parliamentary election was held from October to December 2015, and a new Cabinet and parliament were set up in January 2016. The JICA project team has continued its activities in line with the moves of MOPMAR.

Subsequently, as a result of the reorganization of the Cabinet on March 24, 2016, First Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Dr. Nihal (in charge of preparing the SDS2030) became the deputy minister of MOPMAR.

The following outlines the progress of planning formulation after 2013 in Egypt.

The former MOP had formulated the five-year plan until 2013; however, it did not formulate the following five-year plan (from 2014 through 2019) after the change of government in 2013. The Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) and MOPMAR intended to formulate the two-year mid-term plan in 2015, but ministries and agencies did not submit enough materials. Consequently, they did not continue the formulation of the mid-term plan and prepared the annual plan as they do every year. According to MOPMAR's explanation, the government decided that the formulation of the mid-term plan (by MOPMAR) was difficult and shifted to the formulation of the Government’s Program 2016-20182 formulated by the Cabinet Office. Separately from this Government’s Program 2016-2018, President el- Sisi released SDS2030 formulated by MOPMAR on February 24, 2016. The Cabinet released the Government’s Program 2016-2018 in March 2016, and obtained the approval of the parliament on April 20, 2016. (Figure 3).

2 The Egyptian government formulated the economic development implementation plan 2016-18 (the tenure of President el-Sisi), which was approved by Parliament in March 2016. The difference between SDS2030 and the Government’s Program 2016-2018 is that the former was submitted to and approved by Parliament while the latter did not obtain the approval of the Parliament.

1.4. SDS2030 (external factors)

At the time of the signing of the R/D on the Project (April 2013), the MP (Master Plan “National Income Doubling Plan: 10-year Strategic Framework 2012-2022”), which was approved by the Cabinet in July 2012, was defined as a long-term plan; subsequently, President el-Sisi himself released SDS2030, which MOPMAR had made efforts to formulate as a long-term plan since 2014, on February 24, 2016 through live TV broadcast.

MOPMAR regards this SDS2030 as the general plan of the Egyptian government and placed it at the core to link it with mid-term plans, short-term (annual) plans, and individual plans that other ministries and agencies set for each important policy.

The policy that remains unchanged as JICA’s project team, regardless of these external environment changes, is to support the planning administration promoted by MOPMAR, as well as to point out and make improvements to any inadequacies of the framework for planning administration.

2. Overview and progress of the Project

The activities of the Project are as defined in "The contents of operations" of "The work plan (October 2015)".

2.1. Contents of operations

(1) Overall Goal

The process of the national development planning and implementation according to national priorities is improved.

(2) Project Purpose

National development plans are developed and implemented according to national priorities as decided by MOPMAR in cooperation with the Egyptian development partners.

(3) Outputs

Output 1: Execution plan is developed in compliance with Sustainable Development Strategy Egypt's Vision 2030 (hereafter, SDS 2030).

Output 2: The organizational framework of MOPMAR is streamlined, and the capacity of MOPMAR staff is strengthened to develop and implement execution plan.

(4) Activities

Output 1: Activities for formulation of the Execution Plan (Refer to p. 9 to p. 45 for detailed report on activities and outputs)

(a) Support for the establishment of the Planning Committee for the formulation and implementation of the Execution Plan, and for formulation and implementation of the plan (Figure 4, 1-1)

(b) Support for organizing the roles of the Planning Committee (Figure 4, 1-1)

(c) Support for the establishment of the Planning Committee and for the formulation of the administration rules of its secretariat (Figure 4, 1-1)

(d) Support for the formulation of the Execution Plan by MOPMAR and the Planning Committee and for the approval by supervising ministries and agencies (Figure 4, 1-2)

(e) Support for the implementation of the Execution Plan and for the preparation of a monitoring report by the Planning Committee on the implementation of the Execution Plan (Figure 4, 1-2)

*In the event the Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Development serves the function of the Planning Committee, technical support will be provided to the council.

Output 2: Restructuring of the organizational framework of MOPMAR and support for enhancing the capacity of MOPMAR’s staff

(a) Hold a knowledge-sharing seminar on issues such as policy formation by dispatching Japanese short- term experts (Figure 4, 2-1)

(b) Provide training in Japan as well as workshops and seminars prior to and after the training sessions (Figure 4, 2-2)

(c) Conduct training in third-party countries as well as workshops and seminars prior to and after the training sessions (Figure 4, 2-3)

(d) Support the establishment of MOPMAR’s Strategic Planning and Policy Unit by examining its roles and functions (Figure 4, 3. And 4.)

2.2. Operation flows

1. Output 1 "The activities for the formulation of the Execution Plan" had been conducted according to the procedures mentioned in "Operation flows of the Project" (Figure 4).

JICA’s project team supported the development of the framework of planning administration by conducting the Project’s core tasks of establishing the PC and formulating the EP. (Figure 4, 1)

Although there were some problems, such as ambiguous positioning of SDS2030, which was released in February 2016, we supported planning administration with a focus on the PC and EP.

2. Output 2 "Restructuring of the organizational framework of MOPMAR and support for enhancing the capacity of MOPMAR’s staff" was conducted according to the following procedures. (Figure 4, 2)

Policy is essentially the precondition for formulating plans. Plans are drawn up to attain policy goals, and policy goals are attained through the implementation of plans.

The capacity for policy formulation needs to improve in Egypt at present. Policy goals reflect the values judged by the government. Therefore, to plan policy goals, the government is required to set priorities on policy and optimize the allocation of policy resources (funds, human resources, etc.), while heeding the voice of the people.

To contribute to formulating policy, which is the precondition for the plan, we dispatched short-term experts and provide training in Japan and in the Third Country to share the knowledge necessary to formulate policy.

3. Organizational development (Figure 4, 3)

Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa, the Counterpart (“CP”) of the Project, was scheduled to supervise the function of the Strategic Planning and Policy Division at MOPMAR. Since this function was critical for planning administration, we provided support for him.

4. Human resources development (Figure 4, 4)

Although about 200 staff members are engaged in the compilation of the public investment budget in MOPMAR, few people are charged with policy-level planning administration. Bearing this in mind, we worked on the development of human resources and organizational rejuvenation in MOPMAR through the Result Base Management (“RBM”) project.

2.3. Report on activities and outputs

We make a monthly report on detailed activity contents of Output 1 and 2 by item as follows:

1. Activities for formulation of the Execution Plan (PDM Output 1) (Figure 4, 1.)

1-1. Planning Committee (PC) (PDM: Activity 1-1 to 1-2) (Figure 4, 1-1.)

(1) Setting up the Planning Committee

(a) Overview of outputs of setting up the PC

We set up the PC preparatory committee and held five meetings. The organization name of the Supreme Council of Planning Development (“SCPD”)3, which we agreed on with Minister Dr. Ashraf and which performs the functions of the PC, has not been changed yet. Under these conditions, in order to promote SDS2030, the establishment concepts of the "Ministerial Committee" and "Technical Secretariat" as organizations to put together mid-term plans by ministries and agencies, were released on August 2, 2016. Although JICA’s R/D model and MOPMAR’s SDS2030 model are similar in structure, there is a significant difference between the JICA model, which is based on integrated plans/deliberative planning administration, and the MOPMAR model, which is based on dispersive (separative) plans/theatrical planning administration. The Ministerial Committee and Technical Secretariat do not have the functions of adjusting each sector’s plans and integrating them into the national plan. (Refer to p.42 “Figure 7 Positioning of JICA’s technical cooperation and changes in the MOPMAR planning administration’s trends”). Minister Dr. Ashraf left after the reorganization of the Cabinet (approved by the parliament on February 14, 2017), and Dr. Hala Al-Saeed was appointed as the new minister. There is no hope for the change of the name to SCPD, although the new minister has taken up this post.

(b) Monthly activities related to the establishment of the PC

2015 Toward the establishment of the PC, MOPMAR started preparation to change the name of the present "Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Development" to "Supreme October Council of Planning and Development". Minister Dr. Ashraf informed us that they had already submitted the application for change of the name of the Supreme Council to the Cabinet Office.

November We had a meeting with First Assistant Dr. Nihal on November 4 toward the establishment of the PC, and agreed that we would form the PC preparatory committee. The Project team proposed that this committee should be composed of Dr. Nihal, Eng. Mostafa, and Dr. Shereen from the MOPMAR side, and three experts from JICA's project team. At the first meeting, First Assistant Dr. Nihal reported again that they had already submitted the application for change of the name of the Supreme Council from the present "Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Development" to the Cabinet Office.

December Toward the establishment of the PC, we had a talk with Minister Dr. Ashraf on December 27 (joined by First Assistant Dr. Nihal, Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa, Dr. Naruo, and Dr. Hisada) and confirmed the following activities. Minister Dr. Ashraf reported that the change of the name of "Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Development" (delete "Urban") had been agreed by the Cabinet Office and was in the process of the change of name.

3MOPMAR has, since 2015, aimed to change the name of the Supreme Council of Urban Planning Development to the Supreme Council of Planning Development (SCPD) by removing “Urban” from it and to establish a Supreme Council designed for planning administration (development). Recognizing that functions of this SCPD are able to perform roles of the PC, the Project has been working to promote the name change to SCPD as a PC start-up task.

Dr. Naruo made a proposal on forming the PC preparatory committee, and we agreed that it would be organized by about 10 people including Dr. Nihal, Eng. Mostafa, and Dr. Naruo. Minister Dr. Ashraf instructed that the SDS2030 Committee should serve as the PC preparatory committee.

2016 Minister Dr. Ashraf explained that the Cabinet Office had already (orally) agreed to the change of the name of "Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Development" (delete January "Urban") toward the establishment of the PC but the procedure was delayed because the Cabinet Office concentrated its efforts on responses to the parliament in session.

February Toward the establishment of the PC, we had a preliminary talk on the functions, constitution, and provisions (draft) of the PC with Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa (C/P) (February29), and prepared materials to explain and propose to the minister.

March Toward the establishment of the PC, the JICA team had the first meeting of the PC preparatory committee with First Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Dr. Nihal and Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa (March 3). 1) We discussed and agreed to the basic constitution and functions of the PC (Supreme Council of Planning Development) with First Assistant Dr. Nihal and Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa, key members of the Egyptian government. The PC will have four subcommittees (long-term plan, mid-term plan, annual plan, and comprehensive integration of policy functions). 2) The Egypt side is preparing to officially register the PC (Supreme Council of Planning Development) (requires prime minister's decree), but the date of registration completion is not yet fixed. We will check the date at the next meeting with the minister. 3) We will rearrange a meeting of the PC immediately after the Supreme Council of Planning Development was officially registered. 4) We proposed and prepared for the second meeting of the PC preparatory committee, but it was postponed on March 31, the meeting date, due to the minister's schedule. A date for the next meeting was arranged. 5) To build closer relationships with ministries and agencies scheduled to join the PC and develop human resources, we selected candidates for the second training in Japan (Planning administration) mainly from these ministries and agencies, and confirmed the nomination list as of March 31 with the minister.

April Toward the establishment of the PC, we had the second meeting of the PC preparatory committee at the MOPMAR’s Central Department for the Minister’s Office Affairs (April 7). Minister Dr. Ashraf, Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal, Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa, and Dr. Naruo attended the meeting. The main topics: (1) Confirmation of the progress of the change of the name and members of "Supreme Council of Planning Development (SCPD) (2) Confirmation of the status of the application for the second training in Japan (planning administration) from each ministry and the extension of the final deadline (3) Report on the progress of the support for preparing an English version of SDS2030.

The main points confirmed: (a) Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal reported that they tried to define the SCPD in the new Planning Law, but the legislation was stuck. (b) We confirmed with Minister Dr. Ashraf that we would wait for the prime minister to issue the SCPD decree. (c) We are uncertain about the deliberation, but once the Prime Minister Decree that redefines the SCPD is issued, we will be able to have the first meeting of SCPD based on the decree. (Topic (2) was reported along with the following item of the training in Japan, and Topic (3) along with the item of the Execution Plan.)

May Toward the establishment of the PC, we met Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal and discussed the progress and prospect of the change of the name to the "Supreme Council of Planning Development (SCPD)". The Project team requested Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal to promote the change. The Project team requested Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal and Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa to establish the PC early and call the first meeting of the PC. June Toward the establishment of the PC, we had the third meeting of the PC preparatory committee at MOPMAR’s Central Department for the Minister’s Office Affairs (June 21). Minister Dr. Ashraf, (Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal was absent), Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa, Dr. Naruo, Dr. Hisada and Mr. Maeda, experts attended the meeting. The main topic was the change of the name to "Supreme Council of Planning Development (SCPD)" (four other topics were reported along with the following items). The main points confirmed: As to the change of the name to SCPD, Minister Dr. Ashraf reported on the present state saying, "The change of the name to SCPD has not made any progress because the parliament deliberations on the new Public Officials Law and the new Planning Law are behind." Dr. Naruo stated, "SCPD is an organization to serve as the PC, so I hope that it is renamed soon." We reconfirmed the relation between the PC, EP, and SDS2030 in R/D (the Project). (Attachment 3)

July PC related activity: As an activity of the PC preparatory committee, we requested Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa to share information on the progress of the change of the name to Supreme Council of Planning Development (SCPD), and we continued to follow it.

August As an activity for the PC preparatory committee, we held the fourth meeting with Minister Dr. Ashraf (August 11). The minister gave an explanation of the SDS2030 follow-up seminar (held on August 2). MOPMAR was preparing laws related to the Ministerial Committee and the Technical Secretariat (functions as the secretariat) for SDS2030 follow-up. The change of the name to Supreme Council of Planning Development (SCPD) will probably take a while. (The Ministerial Committee and the Technical Secretariat are still at the planning phase, and their respective roles after the change of the name to SCPD have not yet been explicitly defined by MOPMAR.)

September As to the establishment of the PC, Minister Dr. Ashraf reported to the JICA Team that the change of the name to "Supreme Council of Planning and Development" (SCPD) proposed in August 2015 has not progressed for the past 12 months and that he could not see the end to this issue in sight, and explained the reasons.

October The change of the name to "Supreme Council of Planning and Development" (SCPD) has not progressed and we could not see when it would be realized.

November The fifth PC preparatory meeting was held on November 23, attended by Minister Dr. Ashraf, Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal, and the Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa. Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal said that he was preparing a draft application for the changing of the name from the present "Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Development (SCUPD)" to "Supreme Council of Planning and Development (SCPD)” and expected to be able to report the progress of this issue in December. We requested that he share the draft even if it were in Arabic, told them that the Project Team would send the definition document for the PC again, and sent the document.

December A meeting for “Reviewing the Project activities from July 2016 up to the present and confirming the scheduled Project activities starting in January 2017” concerning the Project was held on December 21, and was attended by Minister Dr. Ashraf and an Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa from MOPMAR, Mr. Sakamoto from JICA’s Egypt Office, Dr. Naruo and Dr. Hisada from the Project Team. The minister and the Dr. Naruo recorded the minutes of the meeting. We confirmed that the Project activities we conducted in response to MOPMAR’s announcement on August 2, 2016 helped us to formulate the mid-term plan for the education field. We confirmed at the above meeting that the Project Team would continue to help register and set up the Supreme Council of Planning Development (SCPD) after January as part of the activities for establishing the PC.

2017 There were no PC-related activities in January due to the preparing and conducting of the training course in Japan. January

February The reorganization of the Cabinet (approved by the parliament on February 14) caused the Minister Dr. Ashraf of MOPMAR and Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal of MOPMAR to be replaced by others. However, Dr. Nihal remained in the ministry as the Deputy Minister in charge of the monitoring by changing his position to that of an official of the ministry. We had the first meeting on February 19 with Dr. Hala Al-Saeed, the new Minister of MOPMAR. Minister Dr. Ashraf did not update any information on the PC this month.

March There was no update for any information on the PC. However, we confirmed with Minister Dr. Hala that we would prepare for the EK-P1 scheduled to be held jointly with the other ministries and agencies as described below:

Deputy Minister Dr. Saleh requested that a training course of the trainers (TOT) should be held on the method of the Benkyo-kai (BK) for the managers of the Human Resources Departments being reorganized in the ministries. The purpose of the BK-TOT was human resource development and to teach around 90 staff members from the ministries and agencies (about three staff members from each ministry and agency, excluding the Cabinet Office and the military-related ministries) how to apply the BK methods to their personnel system reforms. The participants were selected from among the staff (around 30 staff members in each ministry and agency) of the Human Resources Departments, which were planned to be reorganized a few months later. We confirmed that the BK-TOT and BK-P1 would be held on July 18 and July 19 respectively, and the Project Team proposed the concept paper for holding the BK-TOT and BK-P1 to Deputy Minister Dr. Saleh. 2) JICA’s mission and adjustment of the schedule: We confirmed that the meeting would be held on Tuesday, May 23, at 14:00. 3) “Constitution Constitution in Your Hand”: Deputy Minister Dr. Saleh suggested that we should distribute the handbooks to all ministries and agencies and members of the parliament, so we are now preparing for this. 4) Others: Duputy Minister Dr. Saleh requested that we hold a Benkyo-kai on the planning administration for the senior managers of MOPMAR (this was previously scheduled for Saturday, May 20, but was postponed).

1-2. Execution Plan (EP) (PDM: Activity 1-3 to 1-4) (Figure 4, 1-2.)

(1) Support for SDS2030

(a) Overview of the outputs related to the support for SDS2030

We gave support for editing and analyzed the contents of the English version of SDS2030, positioned as the long-term national plan. The analyzed contents was the basic data for the EP which would to be developed in the future.

(b) Monthly activities related to the support for SDS2030

2015 MOPMAR intends to complete SDS2030 by November, and externally had an explanatory meeting for private sectors. October

November First Assistant Dr. Nihal said (November 4) that they aimed to complete SDS2030 by the end of November, but subsequently we were informed by the Project team of First Assistant Dr. Nihal that the completion had changed to the end of December.

December First Assistant Dr. Nihal said that as SDS2030 had been completed in the Arabic version and English version, they would share a soft copy of them with JICA's project team (at the meeting with the minister on December 27). First Assistant Dr. Nihal said that as they wanted to translate the introduction to SDS2030 into several languages to distribute

them to the embassies of various nations, they wanted to ask JICA's project team to translate it into Japanese.

2016 We received a letter of invitation by email dated January 20 to the meeting where SDS2030 was publicly released. This meeting, organized by Minister Dr. Ashraf of January MOPMAR, was called on January 28. As SDS2030 is an important base for the PC to develop EP (Execution Plan), Dr. Naruo made an official trip to attend the meeting (engaged in local operations from January 27 to 30, 2016). It was suddenly decided at the meeting for the prime minister and key members of the Cabinet (January 26), called by the president, that the SDS2030 meeting (scheduled to be held on January 28), called by Minister Dr. Ashraf, would be postponed. It was decided at the above meeting that the president would attend the SDS2030 meeting. The government regards the SDS2030 meeting as a very important meeting, so the date and venue of the meeting were announced later by the office of the president.

February President el-Sisi officially unveiled SDS2030 live on the TV (February 24). We gained the information at the MOPMAR on February 23, the day before (The information was also posted on the Internet in the afternoon of February 23). As to the official announcement of SDS2030, we analyzed the content aired on the TV and the content reported in newspapers. We received a book in Arabic after the official announcement of SDS2030 on February 28, and downloaded the data in Arabic and the abridged English version from the website of SDS2030. We received the written request from Dr. Nihal for support for reviewing and editing the English version (entirely translated from Arabic) of SDS2030 (February 28). We received a soft copy of the English version (February 29) and made a brief review on the same day. The Project team decided that it was necessary to complete the English version of SDS2030 early to examine the contents, and gave support for reviewing and editing it.

March While the president unveiled the abridged English version of SDS2030 in February, the entirely translated version had not been completed. We were requested by First Assistant Dr. Nihal and Minister Dr. Ashraf to support editing of the English version (March 1). We decided that it was essential to examine the English version to develop the EP, which the Project aims for, and started supporting editing work.

April To grasp and analyze the full text of SDS2030, we helped them to have a native speaker check and edit (the contents translated from Arabic into English) to complete the entirely translated version. We submitted a bound copy in color and a compact disc of the entirely translated version to Minister Dr. Ashraf (April 13). We bound the entirely translated version into books, and provided them to Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal and Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa.

May We obtained the information that although SDS2030 was just unveiled in February, the team of Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal was following it.

June JICA's team analyzed the relations between the 10 pillars and the indexes of SDS2030. At the meeting with the minister (June 21), we confirmed that the team of Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal was sorting out items by theme based on the10 pillars of SDS2030. The Project team analyzed the above contents.

August Minister Dr. Ashraf and Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal explained the implementation of SDS2030 to people involved (The meeting was held on August 2, and participated in by about 300 people). Media people also participated and it was aired live on the TV. There are three subcommittees under the Ministerial Committee organized by the prime minister and the Technical Secretariat (functions as the secretariat) organized by the minister of MOPMAR. Under the subcommittees, there are 10 task force teams which develop mid- term plans for individual themes (2017-20), and manage and report on the progress. The teams have 220 people assigned by theme from related ministries and agencies, and are joined by members of the parliament, professionals from private sectors, and experts from universities to develop plans and manage progress. Deputy ministers, ministerial Assistants, and directors from related ministries and agencies have been already assigned to task force teams, and the first task force meeting has been held. For leaders of task force teams, First Assistant to the Minister of Electricity and Energy Omar, Special Assistant to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research Dr. Khaled and other participants in the NPA training in Japan have been nominated. We met Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal on August 15 to confirm the content of SDS2030 follow-up activities. JICA’s project team confirmed that they would support task force activities.

September We have described the (task force support) activities after September 2016 in the to May following item “(3) Support for the formulation of the mid-term plan (MTP) (from 2017 2017 to 2020) related to the educational administration”.

(2) Support for developing the EP

(a) Overview of the outputs related to the support for the development of the EP

Although the members of the PC have not been organized yet, we prepared a Policy Paper (PP) as the prototype for the EP, which was supposed to be developed by the PC, and shared it with the section which prepares MOPMAR's public work annual budget. Sector managers who are responsible for the public works annual budget requested to share a soft copy of the Project’s Policy Paper for reference to compile the public works budget for FY 2016/17. Details on the use of the Policy Paper will be investigated during the next revision.

(b) Monthly activities related to the support for the development of the EP

2015 We were planning to immediately start preparing for the development of the EP (Execution Plan) after the PC preparatory committee was set up. We undertook the October development of the proposed organization for planning administration in Egypt (field, relation, class, basic laws, and responsibilities for development/execution). We started preparing the framework for planning administration based on the constitution of 2014, Presidential Decree No. 122 of 2015, and MOPMAR's current operations.

November We started preparing for the creation of Policy Paper, the prototype for the EP (Execution Plan). Instructed by the prime minister, Minister Dr. Ashraf started preparing MOPMAR's 17

mid-term investment plans (from June 2016 through June 2018). First Assistant Dr. Nihal was in charge of preparing this. After being prepared, the plans needed to be approved by the parliament.

December We reported that after preparing Policy Paper (the prototype for EP) for the public investment system, we would share it with MOPMAR's sector in charge, and gained approval of sharing from the minister. We prepared a Policy Paper, the prototype for EP, for the public investment (mid-term investment plans (from June 2016 through June 2018)) (English version), and started preparing for the translation (Arabic). Minister Dr. Ashraf instructed us to promptly report on the Egypt version of the Fiscal Investment and Loan Program (FILP) proposed by Dr. Naruo after discussing with First Assistant Dr. Nihal and Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa. Minister Dr. Ashraf instructed First Assistant Dr. Nihal to share Policy Paper for rural development with people involved. Minister Dr. Ashraf instructed First Assistant Dr. Nihal and Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa to report on Policy Paper for rural development proposed by Dr. Naruo after discussion.

2016 We developed a Policy Paper supporting public investment budget making, regarded as the prototype for the EP. (Dr. Naruo reported the minister on January 28 that he would January share this Policy Paper for public investment budget making with MOPMAR's sector in charge when it was prepared.) We developed Policy Paper that reflects policy requirements in the process of public investment budget making, handed it to our counterpart (Eng. Mostafa), sector managers (Dr. Hazem Fahmy: Sector manager of Infrastructure and production activities and Mr. Mohamed Faried: Sector manager of Human and social development). Sector managers requested us to provide a soft copy as they wanted to refer to it when developing the public investment plan for FY 2016/17, so we sent the file. As the Policy Paper is the prototype for the EP, we continued to monitor and follow the reflection of it in the mid-term public investment plan for 2016/2018.

February We edited and bound the Policy Paper (draft version) supporting public investment budget making, regarded as the prototype for the EP, and prepared to distribute it to the related sectors and sections of MOPMAR.

March We added information and bound the booklet of the Policy Paper (the prototype for the EP to be prepared in the future) distributed to related departments within MOPMAR (December 2015) as a reference to develop the annual plans for FY 2016/17. We shared the bound Policy Paper again with MOPMAR's related departments. We provided and explained the Policy Paper individually to all the sector managers of MOPMAR, and asked them to share it with the central manager of each organization. We felt that it penetrated through organizations remarkably because some parts were translated into Arabic. Most of the managers expressed their understanding and gratitude for the contents. After the preparation in December 2015, SDS2030 and the Government Program were unveiled in February 2016 and March 2016, respectively. We continue to update information and intend to issue the revised version before the start of preparing the annual plan for FY 2017/18 (around December 2016).

April Preparation for revising the Policy Paper, the prototype for the EP:

The government submitted the Government’s Program unveiled in March 2016 to the parliament (April 3). The parliament approved the Government’s Program with the consent of 433 (91%) lawmakers (April 20). The Policy Paper developed in January does not include any details of the Government’s Program because the program was not yet announced. Therefore, the preparation for revising the Policy Paper was started after the parliament approval.

May We obtained all the text of the Government’s Program 2016-18 (approved by the parliament on April 20) in Arabic (205 pages) and started translating it from Arabic into English. We will incorporate the Government’s Program 2016-18 as guidelines for the Policy Paper regarded as the prototype for the EP.

June We finished translating all the text of the Government’s Program 2016-18 (approved by the parliament on April 20) from Arabic (205 pages) into English (236 pages).

August We analyzed the difference between the EP of JICA’s R/D model and the mid-term plan of MOPMAR’s SDS2030 model, based on details of SDS2030 follow-up activities announced by MOPMAR on August 2.

(3) Support for the formulation of the mid-term plan (MTP) (from 2017 to 2020) related to the educational administration (a) Overview of the outputs related to the support for the mid-term plan

Minister Dr. Ashraf and the Project Team concluded the minutes of the meeting on December 21, and confirmed that “the Project activities we conducted in response to the MOPMAR’s announcement on August 2, 2016 helped to formulate the mid-term plan for the education field.” Prior to the signing, MOPMAR, the Ministry of Education and Technical Education (MOE&TE), and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHE&SR) jointly held the third “Benkyo-kai” on the education policy/planning on December 14. During the opening speech, Minister Dr. Ashraf of MOPMAR said that the “Benkyo-kai” jointly held by the MOE&TE and the MOHE&SR was important for the formulation of the mid-term plan for SDS2030 and that he expected that the Benkyo-kai would make contributions to this plan. We helped formulate the mid-term plan (from 2017 to 2020) related to education (Pillar 3 “Knowledge, Innovation and Scientific Research” and Pillar 7 “Education and Training (Public Elementary Education (Pre-University), Technical Education and Training, University or Higher Education”) for SDS2030 implemented by MOPMAR, and the mid-term plan related to education (Public investment plan from 2017 to 2020) (hereinafter, the “MTP”) that was submitted to MOPMAR in February 2017 as scheduled. The Project Team analyzed the submitted MTP, and gave feedback to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHE&SR) and the Ministry of Education and Technical Education (MOE&TE). We prepared a working paper for the results of the MTP analysis of the general education, technical education, and higher education with three working groups from the ministries. A “Benkyo-kai” to share the working paper was held jointly with the MOHE&SR (attended by the minister).

(b) Monthly activities related to the support for the mid-term plan

2016 We talked with Mr. Khaled, Special Assistant to the Minister of the MOHE&SR (September 4) about the formulation of the mid-term plan (2017-20) for the MOHE&SR September and the third training course in Japan, and we agreed on the way of the future support. At the meeting to report on the progress of the Project to JICA’s Middle East and Europe Department (September 23), we agreed that we would help the MOE&TE to formulate their mid-term plan in addition to the MOHE&SR, and would aim to support the formulation of a comprehensive mid-term plan for the education field.

October As support for the formulation of the mid-term plan (from 2017 to 2020) for SDS2030 implemented by MOPMAR, we gave cross-ministry support to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHE&SR) and the MOE&TE. We talked with Dr. Ahmed Elgeushey, Deputy Minister of the MOE&TE (in charge of TVET) (October 8), where we suggested that the minister should participate in a “Benkyo-kai (Japanese-style training course)” and we agreed to hold it on October 24. Based on the outputs of the first Benkyo-kai (BK-E1), we suggested quotas for the recommendations regarding the numbers of trainees to the MOHE&SR, MOE&TE, and MOPMAR. He said that he would request 10 officials from the MOHE&SR, 5 officials from the MOE&TE, and 4 officials from the MOPMAR.

We talked with Mr. Khaled, First Assistant to the Minister of the MOHE&SR on October 3 and 18 and to Dr. Ahmed Elgeushey, Deputy Minister of the MOE&TE on October 5 and 18 about holding a “Benkyo-kai” on the education policy/planning to help formulate the mid-term plan for the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHE&SR) and the MOE&TE. We agreed to hold three “Benkyo-kais” on the education policy/planning before the training course to be held in Japan (scheduled for late January 2017). We agreed that the first Benkyo-kai (October 24) would be held by the MOE&TE with 52 participants (80% from the MOE&TE and 20% from the MOHE&SR), and the second Benkyo-kai (November 8) would be held by the MOHE&SR with 80% of the participants from the MOHE&SR and 20% from the MOE&TE. We also agreed that the third Benkyo-kai (scheduled for mid-December) jointly held by both ministries would be attended by the same numbers of participants from the two ministries.

November The second “Benkyo-kai” on the education policy/planning was held by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHE&SR) on November 8. During the opening, Minister Dr. Ashraf of the MOHE&SR made a speech in front of the media, and stated the future plans for higher education and scientific research, and the importance of developing human resources who can respond to industrial needs.

December The third “Benkyo-kai” on the education policy/planning was jointly held by the MOPMAR, MOE&TE, and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHE&SR) on December 14. During the opening speech, Minister Dr. Ashraf of MOPMAR said that the “Benkyo-kai” jointly held by the MOE&TE and MOHE&SR was important for the formulation of the mid-term plan for SDS2030 and that he expected that the Benkyo-kai would make contributions to this plan.

2017 Participants in the training course in Japan shared the information that the MOE&TE and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHE&SR) submitted in January their (draft) mid-term plans to the MOPMAR just before their participation in the

training course in Japan. We obtained and examined the submitted mid-term plans, and then helped to formulate the mid-term plan by utilizing the outputs of the training course held in Japan.

February We held the fourth education-related “Benkyo-kai” on February 22 to help formulate the mid-term plan (from 2017 to 2020) related to the education (Pillar 3 “Knowledge, Innovation and Scientific Research” and Pillar 7 “Education and Training (Public Elementary Education (Pre-university), Technical Education and Training, University or Higher Education”) for SDS2030.

March The Project Team analyzed (Note 1) the mid-term plan (Public investment financial plan from 2017 to 2020) (hereinafter, the “MTP”) formulated by the MOE&TE and the MOHE&SR, and gave feedback to the MOHE&SR (March 22) and the MOE&TE (March23). We encouraged both ministries to share the results of the MTP analysis between themselves. The Project Team started formulating a “new integrated MTP” based on the analysis results of both ministries’ MTPs. (Note 1: “Overview notes” indicate the “(Draft) Internal working paper to study for mid- term plan pre-university education” (MOE&TE) and the “(Draft) Internal working paper to study for mid-term plan higher education” (MOHE&SR).)

April Based on the results of the analysis of the mid-term plan (Public investment financial plan from 2017 to 2020) (hereinafter, the “MTP”) (Note 1) provided by the Project Team to the MOE&TE and the MOHE&SR, we completed reviews with the planning teams of both ministries: 10 times with the General Education Planning Team of the MOE&TE, 5 times with the Technical Education Planning Team of the MOE&TE, and 3 times with the MOHE&SR. We helped hold a “Benkyo-kai (BK-E6)” to formulate an MTP that would integrate the MTPs of the MOE&TE and the MOHE&SR.

May Based on the analysis result of the mid-term plan (Public investment financial plan from 2017 to 2020) (hereinafter, the “MTP”) (Note 1) provided by the Project Team to the MOE&TE and MOHE&SR, we prepared a working paper for the results of the MTP analysis of the general education, technical education, and higher education with the three working groups from the ministries.

(4) Support for annual plans

(a) Overview of the outputs related to the support for annual plans

We translated into English and analyzed the content of the social and economic development (public investment) annual plans 2015/16 of the public works annual budgets FY 2015/16, and posted it on the website of the Project to share information with aid agencies including international organizations.

For annual plans, MOPMAR annually formulates public investment budget documents, and we will help MOPMAR with annual planning for FY 2016/17 if it requests us to do so.

(b) Monthly activities related to the support for annual plans

2015 We helped translate social and economic development (public investment) annual plans 2015/16 and completed the first draft translated version. October

November As to the support for the translation (from Arabic into English) of the social and economic development (public investment) annual plans 2015/16, we finished reviewing it within JICA's project team on November 30. The review work we were engaged in with First Assistant Dr. Nihal’s team at the same time had not finished in November, so we continuously urged them to finish the review work.

December First Assistant Dr. Nihal reported at the meeting with the minister that they had finished translating the social and economic development (public investment) annual plans 2015/16 (from Arabic into English) with support of the Project team. The Project team suggested that we should print dozens of copies of the plans and distribute them jointly with MOPMAR to major international aid agencies and major government bodies including the Executive Office of the President and Prime Minister's Office to confirm and share the relation between the plan and SDS2030, which was approved.

2016 We bound the English version of the public investment annual plans FY 2015/16, translated by the Project team, and made a distribution list of the plans. February

As an output of the training, they learned knowledge of Japan and developed the basic concept (proposed) of "NSDI in Egypt". We agreed that we would hold a seminar to report on the outputs of the training in Japan on NSDI after they returned to Egypt.

March We held the seminar to report on the outputs of the training in Japan on NSDI after trainees (14 participants in first the training in Japan on NSDI (National Spatial Data Infrastructure)) returned to Egypt. The theme of the seminar was "Workshop/Seminar on 'Empowering Egypt 2030 strategy implementation: NSDI as a national integration catalyst for planning administration'". The seminar was held on March 27 from 10:00 through 16:00 at a meeting room on the 7th floor of INP (Institute of National Planning), an organization of MOPMAR. It was intended to form a consensus to empower Egypt development strategy implementation by 2030 (utilize NSDI as an integration/coordination function to strengthen national planning administration). About 85 participants participated from NSDI-related organizations. At this output report seminar, we bound the presentation slides of the outputs and abstract slides of lecture materials of the training in Japan into books, and distributed them to the participants in the seminar.

April We compiled a report on the discussion recorded at the seminar to report on the outputs of the first training in Japan (14 participants) (conducted on March 27 with 85 attendants). We bound the report to distribute it to the attendees and related organizations.

3. Issues, solutions, and lessons in implementing and operating the Project 3.1 Organizing the preconditions for the Project

(1) Contents of the preconditions:

The roles of the JICA Project Team were to position the long-term plan (National Income Doubling Plan) jointly developed by MOPMAR and JICA in August 2012 as the MP, and to support the development of the EP for its concrete realization. In doing so, we intended to set up the PC and to hold discussions with the partners involved in the development plan (including those in private sectors, professionals, citizens’ groups, and regional representatives).

In summary, the following three items (Figure 9) are the preconditions.

1) To finalize the MP (National Income Doubling Plan)

2) To set up and operate the PC that will promote the development and execution of the EP

3) To develop and implement the EP

2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Master Plan: 10 year strategic framework (National Income Doubling Plan)

Guiding This is the framework of the RD (Record of Discussion) signed th Execution Plan Phase 1 on 15 April 2013. Execution (3 years: 2014-2017) Plans (EP) (Mid-term Prepare, Execution Plan Phase 2 Plan) Implement, (3 years: 2017-2020) Monitor, Recovery & Evaluate. Execution Plan Planning Phase 3 (2020~)

Committee (PC) 4

Figure 5 The project original proposal (Master Plan) (year 2012) to the Execution Plan (EP) and Planning Committee (PC)

(2) Changes to the preconditions in implementing the Project

1) Master Plan:

When the Project was launched in October 2014, the MP still existed. In February 2016, MOPMAR released SDS2030 as its long-term vision. Since then, the National Income Doubling Plan has not been regarded as the MP.

2) Planning Committee:

At the discussion between JICA and MOPMAR in September 2015 (the MM was signed on September 1, 2015), it was suggested that the existing council of the “Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Development” would play the roles and functions of the Planning Committee. Although we have followed this suggestion for over a year since then, the preconditions were not satisfied and the Planning Committee was not set up.

3) Execution Plan:

In August 2016, MOPMAR held a meeting on the execution of SDS2030 and summoned about 300 officials involved in the formulation of the plans from the ministries and agencies. At this meeting,

MOPMAR allocated 10 Pillars of SDS2030 to the ministries and agencies, and requested that the ministries and agencies formulate a mid-term plan for each allocated pillar..

(3) Causes of changes to the preconditions

1) Political/economic conditions

All of the above three preconditions for the Project changed because the Project period overlapped with a period of rapid changes in the political and economic conditions (Figure 10), including the revolution in 2011 (Arab Spring); the presidential election and the establishment of a new constitution in 2012; the political changes in 2013 during which President Morsi was pulled down from his position; the establishment of a new constitution and the presidential election in 2014; the parliamentary election in 2015; the request to the IMF for financial support due to the sluggish economic activities resulting from insufficient foreign currency reserves, a change to the floating exchange rate system, and the subsequent slump in the value of the Egyptian currency in 2016.

2) Issues concerning the human resources within MOPMAR

Just after the revolution in January 2011, Minister Abou el-Naga (then) of the Ministry of International Cooperation served concurrently as the Minister of Planning, and started organizational reforms and the development of the human resources in the Ministry of Planning. However, some cabinet members including Minister Abou el-Naga were changed under the new President Morsi’s administration, which left the organizational reforms only half completed.

3) Change in the MOPMAR’s organizational structure

The Ministry of Planning was changed from MOPIC to MOPMAR, and extended the scope of its services to the former MSAD in charge of reforming the administrative organization.

Figure 6 The history of the project and the environment surrounding it (from year 2011 to year 2016)

(4) Project Team’s response to the changes in the preconditions

The options that could be taken when the preconditions for the Project were not satisfied were classified into the following three:

Idea 1: To discontinue the Project at that point

Idea 2: To continuously approach MOPMAR

Idea 3: To work on the development of the planning administration human resources required in Egypt in view of the Overall Goal.

We should have decided to discontinue the Project when the MM was concluded (September 2015), as the PC had still not been set up a year after the technical cooperation was started, when SDS2030 was released as the MP in place of the National Income Doubling Plan (in February 2016), and when MOPMAR decided not to develop the EP on their own and instead allocated the mid-term plan formulation tasks to the other ministries and agencies (in August 2016).

We continuously supported MOPMAR after the MM was concluded in September 2015 based on the promise of the Minister of MOPMAR that he would set up the PC (a stance central to Idea 2). However, we determined that the development of the planning administration for human resources targeted only at MOPMAR would be difficult, as there was no progress in the establishment of the PC as of August 2016.

In the process of changing the preconditions, we took the options of suggesting or taking measures to recover from the changes based on the fundamental principles of the RD.

The followings are the measures that we took, in chronological order:

Phase 1 (September 2014 - August 2015): Time to organize the Egyptian government’s requests

Phase 2 (September 2015 – September 2017): Implementation period

(September 2015 – August 2016): Continuous support for MOPMAR by implementing Idea 2.

(September 2016 – August 2017): Changed the focus of our support to the other ministries and agencies by implementing Idea 3.

(5) Outputs of the measures taken by the Project Team

Considering the above, the aim of the measures taken by the Project Team was to “ultimately develop a more efficient scheme for the Overall Goal without changing the Overall Goal, and to extend our practical support further beyond MOPMAR by utilizing the BK method efficiently, while continuously trying to involve MOPMAR, and without ignoring it”.

It was decided that we could support the development of the planning administration for human resources by making flexible efforts in accordance with the changes in the situations based on the above policy: We held BKs for the other ministries and agencies, and distributed textbooks. On the other hand, there was room for considering the other options, including the discontinuation of the Project, so we needed to consider these options in view of the outputs of the Project.

3.2 Issues, solutions, and lessons for the outputs of the Project (first half of Phase 2: October 2015 – September 2016)

In view of the above, we would like to report in order on the Output 1 (Figure 4, 2-1) and Output 2 (Figure 4, 2-2) in terms of the issues, solutions, and lessons resulting from implementing the Project, based on the Operation Flows of the Project (Figure 4).

1. Output 1: Activities for developing the Execution Plan

1-1.Issues for establishing the PC (Figure 4, 1-1.)

Minister Dr. Ashraf of MOPMAR promised in August 2015 to change the name of the current "Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Development" to "Supreme Council of Planning and Development" and to set up PC functions as a MOPMAR-led council; however, a year has passed, and there is no finalization of setting up the PC. It is appropriate to think that MOPMAR currently needs to work on implementing the deliberative planning administration. (See figure 5).

(a) Solution for establishing the PC

In March 2016, we revised the definition document for the PC, and presented it to the minister and Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal. After that, also, we confirmed the status of the establishment of the Supreme Council of Planning and Development in every meeting with the minister.

(b) Lessons for establishing the PC

The planning administration that MOPMAR is promoting has become conducted in a “delegation manner"4 rather than in a“deliberative manner”, and plans that it formulates has become “decentralized” rather than “integrated”, the time of which coincides with the time when Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal has come to the MOPMAR as Economic Assistant in August 2013 (Fig. 5). After that, as Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal has been promoted to undersecretary, first undersecretary, and deputy minister, she has steadily assumed control in the ministry and moved MOPMAR away from its goals to a decentralized plan by delegation manner planning administration.

4 (Delegation Manner) is the way of announcing plans or policies suddenly, without releasing its detailed deliberation or review process, and those plans or policies are decided by some staff from the ministry. At that time, senior officials of the government attend the deliberation council, broadcast it through media such as TV, and make the announced content to an established fact. Sustainable Development Strategy 2030 which was released on 24 February 2016, and Sustainable Development Strategy 2030 implementation plan which was released on 2 August 2016 are examples for that.

1-2. Execution Plan (EP) (Figure 4, 1-2.)

(a) Issues for developing the EP5

The EP (Execution Plan) was supposed to be developed by the PC, and was not supposed to be prepared by the JICA Team alone. However, MOPMAR did not set up the PC during the Project period.

(b) Solution for developing the EP

We started preparing Policy Paper (PP), the prototype for the EP, at the Project in November 2015, and shared it with the sector of MOPMAR in charge in December 2015. We provided and explained it to MOPMAR as a reference for development of individual public investment plans based on policies.

The EP-formulating scheme that depends on the establishment of the PC assumes MOPMAR’s deliberative planning administration. As more than a year has already passed since the Minster decided

5 As shown in Figure 8 of Chapter 4, JICA’s R/D model is an integrated one, where it supports the formation of the PC and the PC formulates EP, while the SDS2030 model is a decentralized one, where the Ministerial Committee led by the president asks the Technical Secretariat led by the MOPMAR minister to formulate decentralized mid-term plan for each of ten axes in SDS2030 with assigned leaders.

to establish the PC, probably we should recognize that no progress has been done. It may be realistic to think that MOPMAR needs more time to implement the deliberative planning administration.

1. Output 2: Restructuring of the organizational framework of MOPMAR and support for enhancing the capacity of MOPMAR’s staff (training in Japan) (Figure 4, 2-2.)

(a) Issues for the training

We conducted training twice in Japan (training on NSDI and training on national planning administration). MOPMAR suggested the theme of the training only, without deep involvement for training needs and content of curriculums.

(b) Solution for the training

We planned to conduct the training in Japan in the following order: The 1st training on NSDI, the 2nd training on E-government, and the 3rd training on national planning administration. We moved up and conducted “Training in national planning administration" as the second training in Japan (from May 22 until June 4, 2016) for ministries and agencies' top officials who are expected members of the PC when it is set up6 , and held a follow-up workshop after they returned to Egypt (July 16).

As we opened training opportunities to human resources for not only MOPMAR but also other ministries and agencies, we were able to expand our network to these ministries and agencies, and to contribute to nurturing a wide range of human resources involved in planning administration.

2. How to implement the Project in the future considering the lessons that have been learned

Although two years have already passed since the Minister of MOPMAR made his decision in August 2015, the PC has not yet been established. Also, on August 2, 2016, the Introduction Plan for SDS2030 was suddenly announced. In the Introduction Plan, the person responsible for each pillar (a Director-level Official of a specific ministry or agency) formulated a mid-term plan (2017-2020).

6 This was aimed at nurturing human resources that will help Egypt’s planning administration in the future. As a result, we were able to build a network with other ministries and agencies, achieving significant outputs in terms of human resource development.

In the SDS2030 introduction meeting on August 2, MOPMAR allocated the tasks of the mid-term plan formulation to the other ministries and agencies. As MOPMAR’s role has changed in that regard, the JICA Team should determine what is now required in order to achieve the objectives of the RD. So far, we have been focusing our support mainly on MOPMAR, but will need to shift this to the planning sections of the ministries and agencies where the planning work will be carried out.

One hypothesis could be that “even if the PC/EP in Output 1 do(es) not function, it is possible for us to contribute to the improving of Egypt’s planning administration (the Project’s Overall Goal) through activities aimed at the nurturing of the human resources and organizations in Output 2, and in collaboration with the individual ministries and agencies”. We have already attempted to share knowledge on the policy and planning formulation with 15 or more ministries, agencies, and other governmental organizations through the past four “Benkyo-kais”. Therefore, we will be able to make further significant contributions to the Egyptian government by continuing to proactively use this “Benkyo-kai” scheme.

Figure 9 Concept of operation system for technical cooperation

Issues, solutions, and lessons for the operation system are reported as follows:

(1) Counterpart (CP)

(a) Issues for the Counterpart

The Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa, the Counterpart (CP), was seen to take a positive stance on the collaboration with JICA at the beginning of the Project when he was appointed as the CP. The new Deputy Minister Dr. Saleh has been playing his role as the Project’s CP since March 2017.

(b) Solution for the Counterpart

JICA Project provided three opportunities for training in Japan to the First Assistant of the Minister of MOPMAR , Eng.Mostafa, and also Ms. Dalia, the Project Manager. JICA Project had also responded to the regular meeting proposal and the requests of providing various information.

We do not think it was wrong that we kept a distance from Deputy Minister Dr. Nihal and regarded Mr. Mostafa as our CP, but Eng. Mostafa actually could not function as our CP. We had no option but to

continuously operate the Project by utilizing a direct relationship of mutual trust with Minister Dr. Ashraf and his networks.

(2) Project Manager (PM)

(a) Issues for the Project Manager

Ms. Dalia who was nominated as Project Manager (November 2015) began working in October 2015 as a team member of Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Mostafa, who is the project's Counterpart. She was a consultant at MOPMAR's organizational reform at the Results-based management project. Because she was an outsider of MOPMAR, she does not have a social network at MOPMAR. Also, as of August 2016, she was involved partly to work in Mr. Mostafa's team, as she started working in another organization7.

(b) Solution for the Project Manager

Since Ms. Dalia was nominated as a project manager of this project, she started attending the project morning meetings and promoted understanding of this project. She also participated in the 2nd National Planning Administrative Training as Project Management to promote understanding of planning administration in Japan.

As the role of Assistant to the Minister of MOPMAR Eng. Mostafa changed, and Ms. Dalia, the Project Manager, started working with other departments, which caused some difficulty of relationship between JICA team and MOPMAR. As the power relations within the ministry and the organizational direction changed, the project management work became more difficult. So, in order to understand the relationship of power within the province, the personnel matters are involved, and it is difficult to grasp it accurately.

(3) MOPMAR project execution office

(a) Issues

The execution office of the Project was on the 9th floor, the same floor as the minister's execution office. The repair work of MOPMAR's building progressed, and we were provided with Room No. 9 on the 3rd floor in April 2016. The new execution office has space for two large desks only and is not large enough for four experts and three Egyptian staff members to work. We are asking MOPMAR to provide with a room large enough for the experts and staff of the Project to work, but we are not sure when we will be given the room.

8When asking Mr. Mostafa directly for this situation, he seemed to avoid giving a clear answer: "Because it is Egypt's government personal matter..." Any further inquiries in this issue would be taken as a political matter within the organization, so it is necessary to take careful measures.

(b) Solution

We are using the newly provided Room No. 9 on the 3rd floor as the Project's liaison office (Dr. Naruo's execution office), and full-time staff work regularly on a rotation basis. Other experts work in a room of a private office, which is a five-minute walk away from MOPMAR.

The repair work in MOPMAR's building started in around November 2014, and it took around 18 months to repair the 1st to 6th floors of the main building. The repair work on the 7th to 11th floors and the annex was not completed by the time that the Project ended. We could promote the activities without delaying them by having a project office in a private apartment near MOPMAR, as we cannot expect to be provided with an additional office by the end of September 2017 when the Project ends.

3.3 Comprehensive issues, solutions, and lessons learned from implementing the Project (second half of Phase 2: October 2016 to August 2017)

The support activities performed by JICA’s projects before this technical cooperation was started are as follows (Figure 10):

Figure 10 This is the basic concept of the JICA projects when the R/D was signed, and the background of the changes that took place after August 2, 2016

(1) MOPMAR’s situations and problems

During the reorganization of the Cabinet in February 2017, Dr. Hala Al-Saeed, the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University, and Dr. Saleh Abdel Rahman, an Associate Professor in the faculty, were appointed as the new Minister and Deputy Minister, respectively.

As soon as Dr. Hala was inaugurated as the new Minister, we held a meeting on March 7, 2017, where we asked her to assign Deputy Minister Dr. Saleh to be responsible for the preparations for holding the BK- P1 (first “Benkyo-kai” on the planning administration) proposed by the JICA Team. “Be sure to spare at least an hour a day to discuss this issue with the JICA Team” was our requirement at that time. Nonetheless, we did not have opportunities for regular meetings with the CP of MOPMAR, which delayed our operations.

Our Project’s CP organization is MOPMAR, but its function of promoting the planning administration has been limited. Ministries including the MOF (Ministry of Finance), CB (Central Bank of Egypt), and the MOTI (Ministry of Trade and Industry) have the function of planning the country’s economic policies, while MOPMAR only has a team that develops the NA (National Accounts).

MOPMAR formulates a public investment budget plan. However, the ministry only examines the budgetary items (in the projects and programs), and does not discuss the policies.

(2) Status and issues in the Project-related field

The Project Team decided in August 2016 to shift our focus of planning to provide support to the ministries and agencies in charge of formulating the mid-term plan.

SDS2030 consists of 10 pillars. JICA has supported the Ministry of Education and Technical Education and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research by focusing mainly on Pillar 3 (Technology) and 7 (Education).

From August 2016, the Project Team helped hold “Benkyo-kais” (Benkyo-kai in education; hereinafter “BK-E”) for the education budget compilation teams of the MOE&TE, MOHE&SR, and the MOPMAR to strengthen the capacity of the teams involved in formulating educational administration plans. We held four “Benkyo-kais” (BK-E1 to BK-E4) for about 100 persons, and conducted the joint training courses in Japan for the above three ministries in January 2017. In addition, as follow-up Benkyo-kais, we helped the MOE&TE and MOHE&SR hold the BK-E, and BK-E5 and BK-E6 respectively, even after April 2017.

An integrated national planning administration was the initial goal. However, as the planning administration in Egypt started becoming decentralized, we endeavored to help the two education-related ministries develop the human resources in the planning administration and to accumulate knowledge in Egypt.

(3) Efforts related to the efficiency, effectiveness, impact, appropriateness, and sustainability of the Project

1) Efficiency

We have been turning our resources to the Overall Goal of the “Improvement of the planning administration in Egypt” in the pursuit of a desirable planning administration in Egypt.

This policy change has enabled us to provide our expertise in planning administrations to many of the officials within the Egyptian government that are involved in the planning administration directly or indirectly, thus preventing the Project’s efforts from being futile.

Through the Project, we have published 43 books on policies, planning, techniques, and knowledge, thereby leaving valuable assets for the future use of the parties involved and the government agencies.

2) Effectiveness

We aimed at achieving the Overall Goal and focused on the “Improvement of the planning administration in Egypt” without abandoning the Project.

3) Impact

We think the Project has had a limited impact on MOPMAR. Even though the CP assigned by MOPMAR lost its priority status, we persistently cultivated and persuaded a practical CP in order to promote the Project, and we maintained the relationship with MOPMAR until the Project ended, developed human resources, and provided expertise in planning administrations.

Beyond the organization of MOPMAR, we also planned and conducted the training courses in Japan for the NPA (National Planning Administration), and we helped seven ministries and agencies in addition to MOPMAR, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Local Development, the MOHE&SR, the Ministry of Electricity, the Ministry of Health and Population, and the National Center for Planning State Land Uses to improve their methods for a planning administration.

Furthermore, we provided expertise in policies, planning, and techniques to the ministries and agencies other than MOPMAR, as well as to government agencies, universities, research institutes, private enterprises, economic organizations, and citizens’ groups through various seminars and Benkyo-kais, and helped them to improve their methods of policymaking.

4) Appropriateness

After the revolution in 2011, JICA immediately supported the planning administration, and provided our know-how on the planning administrations in Japan during the period of postwar rehabilitation and rapid economic growth. As a result, Egypt’s Ministry of Planning (MOPIC at that time) followed Japan’s National Income Doubling Plan to develop the National Income Doubling Plan in August 2012, the first integrated plan after the revolution, which was approved by the Cabinet.

Subsequently, President Morsi was elected in the presidential election. The new cabinet was established and a new constitution was established, but President Morsi was removed from his position due to the political changes that occurred in July 2013. Following this, many things happened in rapid succession, including the establishment of temporary administration, another presidential election, the establishment of another new constitution, dissolution of the parliament, and a general election.

The RD on technical cooperation was signed in these days of rapid changes, but the Project was postponed for over a year and a half, and only started in October 2014.

Because of the significant changes that have taken place in the external environment, the framework for the Project set in the original R/D cannot be said to be necessarily appropriate for the Egyptian government’s current needs or policies. Therefore, we need to deliberately consider and evaluate its appropriateness.

On the other hand, it will still take time until the confusion following the revolution calms down and the national policy gets on the right track. At present, it is difficult to evaluate the appropriateness of the Project based on the current unstable political situation. Nonetheless, our expertise in planning administrations has been transferred to MOPMAR, the other ministries and agencies, government agencies, universities, and private groups through the Project, so it may be appraised from a long-term perspective that we have partially responded to the target group’s potential needs.

5) Sustainability

In the future, the planning administration in Egypt may become decentralized. If so, each ministry and agency will need to have the ability to formulate and implement plans. Through this Project, we have actively helped the other ministries and agencies, universities, research institutes, and private groups to improve their methods of planning administration while also supporting MOPMAR’s planning administration.

In particular, from August 2016, we intensively helped the planning sections of the MOE&TE and the MOHE&SR in the formulation of the 2017-2020 mid-term plan. We developed the BK (Benkyo-Kai) method, and held BKs on public policies, transport policies, industrial policies, FILP/energy policies, and education policies/planning, while also spreading and promoting the BK method.

Just sharing the knowledge of formulating policies or plans is likely to have a transient effect. We cannot ignore this possibility, especially when the country’s politics remains unstable after the revolution.

Nonetheless, what is important for the autonomous development of Egypt is not only to share our knowledge and expertise in a specific field, but also to find a way for them to gain such knowledge and expertise on their own. We are certain that acquiring this ability will lead to their autonomous development.

Based on this belief, during the Project we transferred our knowledge and expertise to the Egyptian officials using the method called BK. We also compiled and translated such knowledge and expertise into Arabic in order to disseminate and spread it to more people, and we published a total 43 books. In addition, we posted these on the Project’s website so that this information can be easily accessed or downloaded.

Transferring our knowledge and expertise into printed publications was a very tough task, but we employed specialist staff and made strong efforts so that the publications would be useful for the establishment of the planning administration in Egypt and could be used as intellectual property in their future.

(4) Lessons and proposals when cooperating in similar projects or similar fields in the future

There has not been any agency in charge of the planning administration in Japan since the Economic Planning Agency was dissolved in 2001. Therefore, it can be said that the planning administration in Japan completed its role 70 years after the Second World War. However, a properly working planning administration is one of indispensable administration functions in many developing countries. For this reason, the need for providing support to planning administrations like this Project will increasingly grow as one of JICA’s cooperation themes in the future.

However, the personnel involved in planning administrations that study fields such as the economy, coordinate policies, and formulate plans are scattered and have grown older in Japan since the Economic Planning Agency was dissolved. Consequently, it is difficult to find anyone among JICA consultants who can instruct people in the area of planning administration. For this reason, it will be difficult for JICA to send personnel who can meet to the expectations in this area, even if the destination countries show their need for instruction on planning administrations.

In addition, we need to be greatly determined when supporting the planning administration in a time of political instability, such as after the revolution that took place during this Project. When the counterpart’s government changes its way of accepting us, the environment for implementing the Project and the degree of difficulty will change drastically. We must therefore be determined to adapt to the changes and secure the necessary systems (a consulting company and the JICA Team) persistently.

A future issue in the planning administration field is to improve the abilities of local governments in the methods of planning administration. Accordingly, nurturing the human resources in the local governments is an urgent issue.

Speaking of planning administration, the central government’s planning administration has almost disappeared in Japan, but the functions of the planning administration have instead been developing in the country’s local governments (prefectures, municipalities). The history of the local governments in Japan is not as long as that in the US and Europe, but they have been making efforts to develop since the 1980s. Therefore, the Local Autonomy College and the local governments in Japan have accumulated expertise in the system design of this field and in curriculums for human resource development, and many personnel who are capable of supporting the local governments in developing countries could be likely to be produced. It is expected that Japan will be able to give support meeting to address the future needs in the administrative reform field.

4. Proposals to achieve the Overall Goal 4.1 Overall Goal

“The improvement of the process of the planning and implementation of the national development according to the national priorities.”

4.2 Proposals to achieve the Overall Goal

(1) The government should take the initiative in promoting the BK method (MOPMAR, the Cabinet Office, or the office of the president).

Regarding the items that countries accepting our assistance will need to address in the future to improve the autonomous development of similar projects, they should consider, analyze, and rack their brains by utilizing the BK method. The 43 publications prepared by the Project Team are treasure houses of knowledge for policies, planning, and techniques, and can be considered as valuable Egyptian intellectual property. It is important to try to utilize, learn humbly, and deepen the understanding of these books through the BK method.

The BK method is a method that has proven to be effective in policy discussions in Egypt, and can be an effective tool in formulating policies with professionals and stakeholders inside and outside the government. In addition, it is expected to be an effective method for planning or discussing strategies in universities or in private sectors other than the government.

We have already held more than 10 BKs, and those BKs have been penetrated mainly into the education-related ministries and agencies. It is worth considering efforts to develop this movement into a social movement.

The establishment of a planning administration requires the process of setting up and sharing the objectives of a number of plans. BKs are likely to take hold in Egypt as an effective method in the country’s policy formations.

(2) The BKs and the 43 books containing know-how should be held within the government with the participation of private sectors.

The seminars, trainings, visits, and BKs conducted through this technical cooperation have produced a variety of expert knowledge in the fields of planning administration and policy formations. We have successfully published 43 books related to this expertise.

These books are written in English or Arabic, and each book can be viewed as a valuable asset and as worthy knowledge for Egypt’s future.

The books have already been provided to the related organizations including MOPMAR and INP. We think it is also necessary to provide them to Egyptian government agencies, local governments, universities, and research institutes in order to spread this expertise further.

(3) The Minister should establish the PC under his direct control to develop the planning administration policies.

Unfortunately, MOPMAR could not establish the PC during the Project period. Nonetheless, a cross- ministry and agency policy council like the PC will be indispensable for Egypt in the future. Even the postwar planning administration in Japan, the Economic Planning Agency, supported the Economic Council, but the Economic Council also consulted the prime minister and submitted plans.

Egypt is flooded with more than 30 ministries and agencies, and the roles and responsibilities of those ministries and agencies are not necessarily clear. We think it is necessary to establish an organization like the PC, in which the prime minister can take the initiative to discuss cross-ministry and agency policy issues and to make proposals under the situation existing with such a government. Therefore, finding a way to suggest the establishment of the PC to the Cabinet Office or the Executive Office of the President rather than MOPMAR will be a future issue.

(4) The government should develop the new Planning Law through the PC.

They started considering the new Planning Law more than three years ago.

Collecting opinions broadly and deliberating sufficiently are necessary actions, because the new Planning Law will be the first revision since 1973. Considerations conducted through an organization like the PC will be required.

(5) The government should draft a basic design for the administrative organizations including MOPMAR.

The Egyptian government is currently packed with 33 ministries and agencies. To make prompt decisions or to make comprehensive judgments, the reorganization, elimination, and consolidation of these ministries and agencies is an indispensable development. The MSAD (Ministry of State Administrative Development), an organization under MOPMAR, is responsible for such administrative reforms.

We have already provided the Deputy Minister with the materials8 on Japan’s experience of an administrative reform, so the Egyptian government can hold Benkyo-kais using Japan’s materials if they make the effort to establish a consideration team. Providing the knowledge of Japan to promote an administrative reform will be an indispensable factor for building a planning administration system for Egypt in the future.

(6) The government should create an “Egypt’s Policy Map”, check the positions of the existing policies, and steer the policies as urgent issues.

The ministries and agencies are currently making various efforts under the instructions of President el- Sisi. Egypt’s political system is a presidential government, so the ministers need not undergo the baptism of an election. For this reason, they tend to work according to the instructions of the Prime Minister and the President, as their superiors.

The ministers respond to the instructions of their superiors quickly and tend to conduct political activities directly, rather than cooperating with other ministries and agencies. In an organization where decisions are made under such a vertically divided system, the development of a cross-ministry and agency policy- related matrix will be an effective solution. In other words, creating an “Egypt’s Policy Map” that can provide an overview of the influential connections between policies is required.

Such a comprehensive policy design tool is required so that the planning administration system can function.

Minuets :

1. Opening remarks by the representative of MOPMAR:

Eng. Mostafa Ghaly (MOPMAR ): - Eng. Mostafa addressed the opening remarks, on behalf of H.E. Dr. Ashuraf the Minister of Planning, Monitoring and Administrative Reform, for the first Joint Coordination Committee (hereafter JCC) of the project of Sharing knowledge on Development and Implementation of Execution Plans (hereafter Project).

2. To monitor and evaluate progress of the project by the Project Director:

- Eng. Mostafa, as the Project Director, presented results of monitoring and evaluation of the Project Design Matrix (hereinafter PDM) and Plan of Operation (hereinafter PO), a period between October 25, 2015 and May 31, 2016, and JCC members raised following comments. Then finally it was approved by the JCC attendees. Comment by: Eng. Mostafa (MOPMAR): - The core activity of Project is to support to set up planning committee (hereinafter PC). Then Project supports to prepare execution plan (hereinafter EP) by PC and to get approval by the responsible government authority. - MOPMAR and Project agreed to utilize “Supreme council of Planning and Urban Development (hereinafter SCPUD)” as same function as PC, once it will be renamed to “Supreme council of Planning and Development (hereinafter SCPD)”. - MOPMAR submitted a request to the Cabinet Office to rename SCPUD to SCPD in August 2015. However, MOPMAR is still waiting for an approval of renaming to SCUD and it is not sure when it will be done by the Cabinet Office due to current political situation. - We want to assert more on the activities of "Capacity Building" of our (public servants’) human capital, in following fields: Education, Health, and National Planning. - We need also above-mentioned field of the Japanese experts to dispatch to our country in the near further, it would be very useful for human capital transformation (human resource capacity building).

2/4 Attachment:5-7-1

Dr. Naruo (Project expert): - Original framework of Record of Discussion (hereinafter RD) is based on two key elements: PC and EP. MOPMAR is responsible to set up PC. The role of PC is to prepare an EP. The role of Project is to support the formulation and implementation of PC in order to prepare EP. Without having PC, it is impossible to prepare EP. In august 2015, the Minister of MOPMAR, Dr. Ashraf, offered JICA to change the name of "Supreme Council for Planning and Urban Development" to be "Supreme Council for Planning and Development". However it has not been approved by the Cabinet Office yet. - Currently there are two possible options for establishing PC: 1. Cabinet office would approve the request of MOPMAR and then it would enable "Supreme Council for Planning and Development". 2. Dr. Nihal has been working for an approval of new planning law. If it would be approved by Parliament, then the "Supreme Council for planning and Sustainable Development" will be established, then such a new council would function as PC. - JICA and MOPMAR agreed to make some modification to PDM and PO in September 1st of 2015. The main point of amendment was to acknowledge SDS2030 future vision (hereinafter SDS2030) as the long term economic development strategy and EP would be based on it. - PC has not officially been renamed or formed yet, in this circumstance Project asked the minister of MOPMAR to organize “Preparatory PC ” and facilitated it for three times, so far.

3. To review and approve the Plan of Operation by JCC:

Original PDM and PO, duration from June 1st 2016 to September 30th 2017, are proposed for discussion by JCC attendees. Those were finally approved by the JCC. Comment by: Dr. Naruo (Project): - Dr. Naruo elaborated on relationship between frameworks of SDS2030 and Project how to apply existing issues. - Attachment 3-1 shows a basic framework of Project after SDS2030 was officially announced in February 2016. Attachment 3-1 describes as follow. 3

3/4 Attachment:5-7-1

- SDS2030 as the strategy / vision level, is contained ten (10) pillars. Those each one of pillar drilling down to separate “mid-term plan”. Then, in order to implement annual budget, public investment, projects and programs, those mid-term plan navigate to short-term plan as of operation layer. - Project modifies (adjusts) from original designs to PC (SCPD) has a function of facilitating to drilling down from each pillars as well as developing to EP, which has a function of extracting and integrating policies from ten of mid-term plan, which are drilling down from pillars. Then EP would navigate to the annual short term plan. - The working formation among SDS2030, EP and PC would be discussed further details functions with Dr. Nihal. Mr. Konno (JICA Egypt Office): - What is a role of the MOPMAR in PC? Eng. Mostafa (MOPMAR): - The role of MOPMAR is to mobilize the PC process, to set general direction, to check individual plans designed by the other ministries, coordination of ministries, monitoring and assessment of executed projects and programs, and activation of the government program - In addition, we want to focus on capacity building issues in recent circumstances. We think human development, or human capital transformation, is more important issue.
