The Egyptian Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli, convened on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, and approved nine key decisions. These decisions aim to improve various aspects of public life, including work policies, leadership development, healthcare, and infrastructure projects. The meeting focused on enhancing the efficiency of government services and supporting national development initiatives.
One of the significant decisions made was to suspend the implementation of a previous cabinet decision (No. 982 of 2026) that mandated a remote workday for all employees in government institutions and agencies on Sundays. This decision reflects the government's adaptability in response to changing needs and circumstances.
The cabinet also approved a new program aimed at developing leadership talents. The program, to be executed by the National Academy for Training and Qualifying Youth, targets preparing and qualifying cadres with the necessary leadership and administrative capabilities. This initiative seeks to enhance the skills of future leaders in Egypt's public sector.
In a move to honor and support those who have made sacrifices for the nation, the cabinet approved the inclusion of a number of martyrs and injured individuals from the armed forces and civil employees in the wars and special operations into the fund for honoring martyrs and victims of war and terrorist operations.
The cabinet also greenlit several infrastructure and development projects. These include a project to mitigate risks at the Al-Mutawalli Mosque (also known as Al-Tareeni Al-Kabir) in Al-Mahalla Al-Kubra, Gharbeya Governorate. Additionally, the cabinet approved the Alexandria University's contract for completing the construction of the new faculty of medicine and university hospital.
In economic and administrative decisions, the cabinet approved the disposal of a 14,756.25 square meter area in Port Said for the benefit of the East Delta Flour Mills Company. This decision supports the company's strategic role in providing essential goods. Furthermore, the cabinet agreed to renew a contract for EgyptAir to use a building in Zagazig, Sharqia Governorate, which will ease travel procedures for citizens.
The cabinet's decisions also included approving a 10-year concession for a specialized import and export company to use 12 refrigeration units at Obour Market in Cairo. Moreover, contracts were approved for the maintenance of several hospitals in Gharbeya, Qalyubia, and Giza Governorates, aiming to improve healthcare services.
