2.3.1 EEAA 

Brief Background on the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) 

EEAA was established and affiliated to the Cabinet of Ministers by means of the 

Presidential Decree No. 631 of 1982 to perform liaison between the Cabinet of 

Ministers and various ministries and entities in relation to environmental 

conservation, and to study and prepare subjects related to nature protection. 

In 1994, Environment Law No. 4 was issued. Accordingly, the newly established 

EEAA replaced the existing agency created by Presidential Decree No. 631 of 1982, 

and thus inherited its obligations and rights as well as personnel along with their 

financial grades.
