UN expert warns against privatizing water plants in Egypt.
The UN special rapporteur on the human rights to water and sanitation said Egypt has made measurable progress in expanding drinking water and sewerage services, but warned that certain policies could undermine constitutional guarantees and international obligations, urging authorities to prioritize basic water use instead of attributing current pressures solely to scarcity.
Pedro Arrojo Agudo visited Egypt from Feb. 8 to 17, meeting government officials and representatives of international organizations and civil society, and touring water and sanitation projects in Cairo, Kafr El-Sheikh, Fayoum, Aswan, and Qena, which he said helped him learn “more about the challenges and good practices in the country,” he said in a statement following his visit.
