**Description of the context of intervention**:
The Egyptian Constitution of 2014 provides for the gradual establishment of a universal health insurance system covering the entire population and whose financing would be based on the principle of solidarity, with each citizen contributing according to his or her income to allow access to health care for all. The law promulgated in January 2018 acts of the implementation of this universal health insurance, in six phases (by group of Governorates) that will allow coverage of the entire territory by 2032.
The effective implementation of the Universal Health Insurance System (UHIS) responds to strategic challenges following the 2011 popular uprisings in Egypt. Faced with rapid population growth, declining labor market participation rates, rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases and deteriorating living conditions (rising poverty), and while the authorities are required to rationalize public spending to ensure the country's macroeconomic stability, they have made the UHIS one of the cornerstones of their social justice reform agenda.
In this context, the French Development Agency (AFD), is financing a Social Protection Budget Support operation of 150 million EUR, in parallel to a World Bank financial support. The budget loan aims at (i) supporting the implementation of the Universal Health Insurance System in first phases governorates; (ii) improving spending efficiency for social protection through strengthened steering skills of the Economic Justice Unit of the Ministry of Finance.
The budget support loan has been associated with a technical assistance of 2 million euros, directly granted to the Ministry of Finance, to support the implementation of the UHI law
