Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

       Projects of various sizes and types are considered the main and fundamental pillars of development plans, through the implementation of various projects in the sectors of the national economy. Economic development is achieved and economic growth in various countries depends on the safety of investment decisions in projects which constitute economic development programs. SMEs are an important component of the Egyptian government's economic reform and liberalization program, but they have not been adequately reflected in job creation, productivity improvement and income generation. While the economic transition has shifted the burden of the production process from the Government to the private sector, with growing population growth rates and growing economic needs, a great number of new jobs and increased production are required. Small and medium enterprises represent more than 99% of Egypt's private non-agricultural enterprises and contribute almost "to the provision of nearly three-quarters of the jobs provided by this sector, although small and medium enterprises suffer from inadequate resources and inefficient resources. Efforts should be intensified to develop these facilities and provide the necessary services such as developing the skills of those involved and developing the transfer of technology used in these projects as well as assisting the enterprises.
