The paper applies the frameworkto the Arab Republic of Egypt and as such, summarizesEgypt's progress on the Sustainable Development Goalssince 2000 and projects expected values for the attainmentof future targets by 2030; (b) provides an assessment ofEgypt's current capacity to produce the data needed tomonitor the Sustainable Development Goals, and (c) assessesoptions for increasing financing for development.
