The Role of Developing Countries Governments in HRD Programs The Egyptian Experience

Economists and development experts have always maintained that human resources is a significant factor for achieving high economic growth and improve the standard of living in any country. They assert the undisputed fact “the real treasure of any country is its human resources”. The important issue now is: what a developing economy can and should do to develop its human resources meaningfully and efficiently? Egypt, as a developing country, has launched an effort for human resources development (HRD), following its privatization program, during the period 1999 – 2009. During this period it accomplished some degree of economic stability, prosperity, and efficiency. Understandably such accomplishments are HRD based; and are essential for the well being of the people.
