The land that feeds the nation, and the first place a citizen dividend can be earned.
42.9%Live in towns and cities

IFC, 202603Solutions · The seven stars · Perfect Capita
Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Egypt in its own prices.
How Perfect Capita worksTap a star for its figure and source.
The price of Perfect Egypt
To be set with Egypt, from its own figures and in its own prices: Perfect Capita times the people of Egypt, each year.
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.
Solution No. 09
A bond whose cost falls when Egypt’s children read, so investors share the gain.
56%of Egyptian children could not read a simple text, 2021
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.
