EGIS AWARDED THREE-YEAR CONTRACT FOR 26 AIRPORTS KINGDOM TO MEET UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS BY 2030

Thanks to the reform of its water industry and the implementation of a national Water Strategy the 2030 goals will be reached.

Dr Abdulaziz Al Shaibani, the Kingdom's Deputy Minister for Water at the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, stated at the UN 2023 Water Conference in New York that Saudi Arabia has allocated $80 billion for water projects in the coming years as part of its efforts to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all.

The National Water Strategy strives to maintain water resources, protect the environment, and offer high-quality, cost-effective services. The strategy's goals align with SDG6 by ensuring global access to clean and safe water.

MATARAT, previously known as Saudi Civil Aviation Holding Company, has announced that it has awarded a three-year contract to Egis to provide consulting services for 26 airports in the Kingdom.

This contract is an important step in establishing phased project management portals, updating airport project management policies and procedures, and providing technical support for planning, designing, and monitoring the implementation of capital projects with MATARAT subsidiaries.

The project is intended to support strategic planning by defining and preparing a portfolio of five-year projects, working on the comprehensive plan program for the Kingdom's airports, and monitoring the alignment of future projects with MATARAT's strategic objectives.
