National Blueprint · One of 195
A nation of 118.4 million along the Nile, where every home cooks with clean fuel and the IMF and World Bank are backing reform with more than $8 billion.

Every mandate makes the same four moves for Egypt. What changes is how deep we go, and how far the work travels toward market.
A private session for the people who decide.
Your team and ours, working the blueprint together.
Led personally by the President and CEO.
For the Government of Egypt, its development partners and investors. Scope and fees are agreed in writing before any work begins.
Red, white and black, with the golden Eagle of Saladin at the centre. Every one of you cooks with clean fuel, and the Nile has carried your civilisation for five thousand years.
“Every Egyptian home already cooks with clean fuel. Now make every Egyptian child a confident reader by ten.”

Sovereign Assets
Each is owned today, earns today, and can lift Egypt closer to Perfect Capita.
43 in every hundred live in towns and cities; the rest live on the land they farm and fish.
The land that feeds the nation, and the first place a citizen dividend can be earned.
Dense cities make every pipe, cable and clinic serve more people for each dollar spent.
Below the scarcity line of 1,000 cubic metres: every drop must be stored, treated and reused.
Sun, wind, water and biomass already carry part of the load; the rest is the opportunity.
What each asset is worth, and how far it can carry Egypt toward Perfect Capita, is the question our research and our guests take up below.

The Living LineThe poverty line measures income. The Living Line measures a life: food, water, shelter, energy, education, health and livelihood. Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards. Coverage scores each standard strictly out of 100, and a nation is held at its weakest: Egypt at 43.9, by education, with shelter at 57.3 and livelihood at 66.5 next.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Egypt. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures
Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.

Launching soon“What does Egypt already own, and how could it pay for a decent life for every citizen?”
We are looking for the people with real stories from Egypt: the leaders who built something that works, and the keepers of local knowledge who know how their communities live, cope and thrive.
