“Good Water Management Practices for Sustainable Wheat Production”
This project is expected to be funded by the Korea-Africa Economic Cooperation Fund (KOAFEC) and aims to support Egypt’s efforts toward achieving food security through enhanced water use efficiency in wheat cultivation.

Should the project receive funding approval, it will be implemented in cooperation with several entities under the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, along with research institutions from other ministries—ensuring a unified national effort toward the success of the project.
