This report contributes to building consensus around the development of more effective, scalable and sustainable Active Labour Market Programmes (ALMPs) for youth in Egypt. This is achieved through three objectives: first, to provide an analysis of the policy framework and the key stakeholders influencing youth employment programming
in Egypt; second, to synthesize global evidence on the effectiveness of youth employment programmes, and reflect this in the context of existing ALMPs for young people in Egypt; and third, to provide recommendations on how to improve evidence uptake in the policy making process to improve youth labour market outcomes in Egypt.

Four key policy recommendations emerge as a basis for moving towards high quality, more effective and impactful ALMPs for young people in Egypt:

1. Reframe the employment promotion narrative from stand-alone measures and classic macro-economic frameworks towards job-rich, pro-employment policies
2. Foster a narrative which emphasises investments in young people
3. Work towards a common understanding of ALMPs and improve their reputation
4. Promote evidence-based programming
