The new Seminar Series provides a platform for all people striving to identify and implement evidence-based policy solutions that sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. The new series is part of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded project called “Evaluating Impact and Building Capacity” (EIBC) that is implemented by IFPRI. It will feature research-based presentations by top local and international experts on key development topics. Recording and publishing all the events online will create a knowledge repository to inform policy making in Egypt and beyond.
In partnership with 
June's seminar was on: "Measuring and Monitoring SDGs in Egypt".
As the world have come to agree on new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Egypt has volunteered and opted to be one of the first countries to report back on progress towards achieving the SDG targets in the upcoming UN High Level Political Forum in July, this seminar offered a timely informative discussion with a focus on monitoring and measurement of SDGs 1&2.
The objective of the seminar was to provide global insights on the strengths and the weaknesses of various poverty, food and nutrition security indicators. In addition the seminar brought in key stakeholders to discuss how Egypt is currently planning to monitor and measure the SDGs.
