The Government of Egypt has enacted major reforms to modernise its public governance and foster inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The National Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development (NIGSD) has played a key role in advancing these reforms; it is uniquely positioned as a public economic organisation with advisory, training and research functions working at the intersection of good governance, competitiveness, and sustainable development in Egypt. This Review provides an overview of the governance, functioning and activities of the NIGSD, as well as its achievements, with the aim of further enhancing its capacity and impact. In line with OECD good practices and standards, the Review also provides policy advice and recommendations on how to enhance the internal governance structures, processes and tools of the NIGSD, better mainstream governance practices and build capacities for sustainable development across sectors and levels of government.
