The presidential directives included achieving the set objectives in the fields of national security and foreign policy, economic development, production, energy and food security, and human development and community building.
The President instructed each ministry to develop a plan
outlining targets, procedures, implementation timelines, required funding, and
performance indicators, all subject to continuous monitoring and evaluation.
The directives also emphasized the need for the economic
team to prioritize the ongoing improvement of the economic situation. This will
involve the participation of the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs in
the new government in developing future plans, coordinating among members,
ensuring alignment in their responsibilities, and monitoring performance,
particularly as the cooperation program with the International Monetary Fund
approaches its conclusion at the end of this year.
He also directed efforts to reduce public debt through
carefully studied new measures, ensuring the soundness of procedures and
positive impact in both the short and long term.
The President called for the continued implementation of the
State Ownership Policy through tangible steps and for increasing private sector
participation in the economy.
He also tasked the government with entering new sectors to
support the economy, especially technology, rare earth minerals, and related
industries, while encouraging innovation and funding its research and practical
applications.
The presidential directives included the sustainable
enhancement of the education system in all its aspects, as well as greater
attention to citizens’ health and access to medical treatment.
The directives also highlighted upholding the values of
citizenship, equality, and non-discrimination, and encouraging public
participation through transparent procedures that meet citizens’ aspirations.
This includes completing the constitutional requirement for local councils to
enable popular participation in monitoring local administrative units and
ensuring their performance.
President El-Sisi stressed the utmost importance of public
opinion, calling for continuous awareness through a national media capable of
reaching all segments of Egyptian society. The media should deliver
professional and responsible coverage, fostering collective awareness in the
face of challenges and the spread of rumors, promoting a culture of
constructive dialogue, developing critical thinking skills, and encouraging
respect for the opinions of others.
