Egypt SCALA Inception Report

This Inception Report complements SCALA Egypt project documentation with the outcomes of the inception activities. It specifies the SCALA inception activities undertaken by FAO and UNDP, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Environment (MoEnv), Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation (MALR), and Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWRI) to determine the scope and areas of SCALA programme implementation in Egypt. The report summarizes in-country consultations to determine the country’s priorities and needs and take stock of existing data availability and expertise. It also outlines the theory of transformative change for the programme’s implementation in Egypt's fruit and horticulture subsector and agriculture and land use sectors.
