The afforestation projects and increasing the greenery space are important projects that the ministry gives a special attention, since the establishment of these projects has the following benefits:
The Ministry of Environment with the support of all the governorates, many of the bodies and NGOs provides technical and financial support for the establishment of nurseries for afforestation projects for governorates as well as the establishment of greenhouses to provide the necessary seedlings for planting. The ministry is contributing greatly in the creation of gardens in Greater Cairo and all other governorates. It also contributed technically and financially in the development of informal settlements to create gardens and planting of streets and roads, as well as making use of space areas within cities and neighborhoods to increase green areas.
