Pathways to Prosperity - Egypt In this programme we address the issues that, in Egypt, cotton growers, cooperatives, extension services and the Cotton Research Institute are lacking adequate support to understand and manage the many challenges related, but not limited to, climate change and new EU market requirements in the cotton sector. Through the interventions in this programme we support the Better Cotton Program launched in 2020 by the Egypt government and Cotton Egypt Association (CEA) by introducing best agricultural and social management practices in cotton communities and gins, dissemination of innovative gender sensitive digital tools and solutions, and increasing the capacity of public and private extension services.
