<p>Since 2011 DFID has provided assistance to Egypt through the regional £125 million
Arab Partnership Economic Facility (APEF), which supports economic reform and development
in Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Morocco and Libya. Examples of DFID support in Egypt include
technical assistance for the passing of a new micro-finance law and the development
of a new poverty database; the provision of capacity building support and access to
finance for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises; and a rights and skills programme
for female-headed households.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Many of the regional APEF
projects will continue in 2015/16 and support will also be provided through the cross-government
Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). The programme of CSSF assistance for
Egypt in 2015/16 is currently being developed; future funding is still to be considered.</p><p>
