The Egyptian Information and Communication Technology Trust Fund was established jointly by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in January 2002. The ICT Trust Fund is managed by UNDP in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in line with UNDP’s policies and procedures. The Fund is guided by two committees: the Steering Committee that sets the Fund’s policies and approves projects submitted for funding and the Management Committee that reviews and assesses performance.
