The government wants to use public money to deepen Egypt s supply chain
Egypt s plans to attract significant foreign investment in its garment and textile manufacturing sectors have been delayed due to the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic – prompting the government to step in to spur development.
The government s Vision 2025 strategy had targeted attracting some US$17.5bn in foreign investment to quadruple textile and garment exports. But with the pandemic leaving the global clothing sector in the doldrums – and Egypt s exports down 20% last year – the government has earmarked some US$600m in public money to be invested in two tranches this year.

While there was much they couldn’t tackle during the pandemic, a group of volunteers found they could work to make downtown Haverhill a more inviting place to visit and live.
Team Haverhill held a series of events called the Clean and Green Initiative, which involved cleaning up trash and debris, planting flowerbeds and undertaking other acts of beautifying the city. Team Haverhill Vice President Lisa Marzilli told the City Council Tuesday night what they accomplished since last spring.
“The mission of our Clean and Green Downtown Haverhill Project is to have our downtown be great. The things that we focused on included greening like adding flowers and shrubs and trees, making sure it’s walkable for citizens. A big element is making sure it is clean and maintained, adding public art and good signage,” she said.

Haverhill’s Museum of Printing is displaying many rare Bibles from its collection through April 30.
The Museum has one leaf from every Bible printed in Colonial America, including the first Bible printed in America the Eliot Bible of 1663 in the Algonquin Indian language. Because the King James Bible had typographical errors, King James ordered what became known as the 1762 Baskerville Bible. It is considered one of the most beautiful Bibles and the typeface designed for it is named for its designer, John Baskerville, and still used to this day.

Sen. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, and Rep. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, are carrying the measures, which were approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee and House Health & Human Services Committee on Tuesday. The plan has sparked controversy over students privacy rights, but Rodrigues told the Senate panel Tuesday that his proposal (SB 582) doesn’t give parents any new rights that aren’t already in state law.
