NIGSD Hosts Online Orientation Seminar for Local Government Officials to Strengthen Awareness of Sustainable Development and Governance Across Egyptian Governorates

The National Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development (NIGSD) has held an online orientation seminar for a selected group of government employees representing four governorates—Red Sea, Assiut, Alexandria, and Port Said—as part of a national push to localize sustainable governance thinking within public institutions.

The seminar covered core topics including the foundations and objectives of sustainable development, Egypt’s Vision 2030 framework, and the principles of good governance. Sessions also highlighted Egypt’s evolving performance in global sustainability reports and reinforced the role of governance in institutional efficiency, resource management, and service quality at the local administration level.

Participants joined interactive discussions focusing on how governance indicators connect directly to organizational performance and reform readiness, particularly inside local government structures. The sessions were designed to help officials translate national priorities into practical understanding applicable to public administration, institutional planning, and sustainable local policymaking.

The seminar also stressed the importance of building a shared, nationwide culture of governance literacy across public institutions, ensuring alignment between central strategies and local operational planning, and ultimately enabling more coherent institutional reform and stronger administrative capacity.

By extending its outreach to governorate-level officials and stakeholders, NIGSD continues to position sustainable development and governance education as a pillar for long-term institutional coherence and national capacity building.
