New World Bank grant to help Egypt manage Cairo's air pollution
A 2022 report published by the American University of Cairo described Cairo's air quality as a "direct threat to public health.”
The World Bank announced a new grant toward an air pollution program in Cairo on Wednesday.
The Washington DC-based financial institution said it will provide $9.13 million to expand the scope of its Greater Cairo Air Pollution Management and Climate Change Project. It will specifically go toward managing electronic and health care waste, according to a press release.
