Analysis
Egypt has suffered major turmoil during the past 5 years but its situation has not been as dramatic as some neighbouring countries.
A new elected government came to power in 2014 and a new parliament was recently elected in line with Egypt's new constitution issued in 2014.
It is not an easy job for the current government to meet the calls for social justice and to tackle the challenges Egypt faces such as deficits, need for economic reform and reform for healthcare, training and development and education.
The government however has taken material steps towards developing Egypt by, first, identifying all the major challenges and second, designing a roadmap with measurable objectives to achieve a more developed Egypt. This was set out in the recently announced Egypt Vision 2030. Egypt Vision 2030 focuses on inclusive development that has social justice at its heart.
