To improve on information gathering and analysis, a research unit was established in 2017 to collect and analyse migration-related data in the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics (CAPMAS) in Egypt. The Migration Data Analysis Unit aims to fill in existing information gaps by conducting periodic assessments and producing key statistics on migration issues to support the development of evidence-based policy and enhance migration management in Egypt. Among other things, this can provide a better understanding of the needs of the labour market and promote capacities to predict fluctuations.

Egypt is also active in the area of migrant work and movement, proposing initiatives with its international partners regarding circular or seasonal migration as well as skills matching mechanisms. Recently, a number of cooperation programs were launched in partnership with a number of European countries (primarily Germany and Italy) in the area of vocational training of workers to increase their employability.
