Abstract

Egypt is a developing country in Africa facing challenges related to sustainable development and legal frameworks. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with policymakers and stakeholders and an analysis of relevant legislation. The study identified a 20% increase in the number of sustainable practices incorporated into new legal documents over the past five years, particularly in water resource management and urban planning. Current policies are inadequate to support fully sustainable development; there is a need for more robust enforcement mechanisms and stakeholder engagement. Develop clear, enforceable regulations that align with international best practices. Increase public awareness through education campaigns and community involvement in decision-making processes.
