EU Support to Trade, Industry, Growth and Rapid Market Access (EU TIGARA)

Overview

The program aims to contribute to sustained economic growth and job creation in Egypt by promoting competitiveness and market transparency, particularly in the manufacturing sector.

The project has two main axes:

1. Promoting the entrepreneurial ecosystem through inclusive industrial and quality infrastructure policy development and capacity building of public institutions and business development services;
2. Supporting targeted value chains and clusters to sustain the country’s economic growth and seize available trade opportunities.

The private sector, specifically small and medium enterprises (SMEs), is the primary target group of the project. They receive technical assistance to strengthen their competencies in production, market analysis and penetration, as well as compliance with relevant quality standards. To ensure sustainability in the long-term, local institutions and providers of business development services, sectoral coordination, and conformity assessments are strengthened. The project also advises policymakers and collaborates with other organisations to achieve its objectives.
