The Dakahleya Governorate is bracing for a visit by Dr. Manal Awad, Minister of Local Development and Environment, scheduled for today. In anticipation, the governorate has intensified follow-up efforts and upgraded several areas, roads, and sites expected to be part of the minister's tour. This includes centers and cities such as Mit Ghamr, Aga, Mansoura, and neighborhoods in East and West Mansoura, as well as Nebrouh and Belqas.
Several areas are witnessing intensive work ahead of the visit. In cities like Mit Ghamr, Aga, Mansoura, and neighborhoods of Mansoura, efforts are being made to enhance the general appearance. This includes campaigns to remove obstructions, improve cleanliness, and upgrade roads. These preparations are part of the arrangements for the upcoming tour by the minister. A nighttime campaign was recently conducted in Nebrouh to clear obstructions and improve traffic flow.
The visit is set to include a delegation from the European Union and the European Bank. Accompanying the minister will be Major General Tariq Marzouq, Governor of Dakahleya, and Dr. Hussein Maghrabi, Deputy Governor. The itinerary includes the inauguration of the Kawkab Al-Sharq Park and the intermediate solid waste station in Nebrouh. The minister will also inspect several projects and sites across the governorate.
This visit comes as the Ministry of Local Development and Environment is closely monitoring the development of waste management systems across governorates. In February, Dr. Manal Awad inspected the municipal solid waste treatment and recycling plant in Sandub, alongside the Dakahleya governor. This was part of infrastructure projects for the governorate's waste management system.
Dr. Manal Awad assumed her role as Minister of Local Development and Environment in February 2026, according to official data from the Ministry of Environment. Her visit to Dakahleya is part of her efforts to oversee and enhance local development and environmental initiatives across Egypt.
The preparations and projects underway reflect the governorate's commitment to improving public services and infrastructure. The visit by Dr. Awad and her delegation is expected to highlight these efforts and potentially announce new initiatives or projects to further support local development and environmental conservation in Dakahleya.
Key projects to be inspected during the visit include the solid waste management facilities and urban development initiatives. These are crucial for enhancing the quality of life for residents and ensuring sustainable practices in waste management. The involvement of international partners such as the European Union and the European Bank underscores the importance of these projects.
