Evaluation in Egypt

Chapter 12 in The Institutionalization of Evaluation in the Middle East and North Africa, 2025, pp 249-273 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines the institutionalization of evaluation in Egypt by analyzing institutional frameworks, regulatory environments, and professionalization efforts. This chapter traces Egypt's transition from centralized mechanisms under Nasser to more structured systems aligned with Egypt Vision 2030. This study identifies key challenges in institutionalizing evaluation, including limited civil society participation, institutional resistance, and capacity constraints. The findings reveal how political and economic transformations have influenced evaluation practices and highlight the role of academic institutions and professional organizations in building evaluation capacity. The chapter documents recent developments, such as the Egypt Impact Lab and Vision 2030's evaluation requirements, while noting persistent challenges in the areas of civil society participation and institutional effectiveness. This study concludes that despite significant progress in formalizing evaluation practices, sustained effort is needed to strengthen legal frameworks, build technical capacity, and promote broader stakeholder engagement in evaluation processes.
