Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescents in Egypt 2024
This report provides a comprehensive situation analysis of children and youth in Egypt building on the most recent data available at the time of the analysis.
Highlights
The 2024 Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescents in Egypt (SitAn) presents a wealth of evidence, analysis, and insight that guides decisive and effective decision-making, policy dialogue, partnerships, and interventions to address child rights. Knowing how critical data is for the narrative and enforcement of children’s rights and well-being in Egypt, we, at UNICEF, strive to keep the SitAn a live document that is regularly updated with timely, robust data to inform ongoing and future efforts to meet children’s rights across the country.
The 2024 update of the Situation Analysis was developed based on the latest evidence available by mid-2024, including data collected by the government and partners through surveys such as the Egyptian Family Health Survey 2021, administrative data systems, and demographic and population estimates. In addition to secondary analysis, such as published research papers, legal and policy frameworks, as well as global and regional literature of relevance to Egypt’s context. The SitAn report provides deeper insight into specific topics, such as the displacement of Sudanese families into Egypt, it also includes the results of quantitative and qualitative research of their situation in Egypt. Moreover, the report places emphasis on the analysis of disaggregated data to highlight disparities across genders, wealth quintiles, and regions, or the lack thereof.
