For three decades, the United States and Egypt have collaborated closely in economic development and regional stability. Coordination on the Middle East peace process, interest in a strong and open Egyptian economy and cooperation in countering terrorism are pillars of the nation's relationship. USAID assistance has totaled $28 billion since 1975. Current programs focus on Trade and Investment; Utilities; Education; Healthier, Planned Families; Natural Resources; and Democracy.
