Dcode Consulting partners with governments, development institutions, donors, and private sector actors to shape development pathways that are inclusive, sustainable, and grounded in real-world needs. With a growing international footprint and deep-rooted expertise in Egypt, we work across the development project cycle—from design and diagnostics to delivery, implementation, and learning.
We’ve conducted assignments and collaborated on regional initiatives in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Morocco, and Palestine, and continue to expand through trusted partnerships with organizations like ILO, UNIDO, FAO, WB, IFC, GIZ, GAC, AfDB, ITC, and others.

We operate as both a policy think tank and a delivery partner. Our consulting approach is built on four key pillars:
We deploy full teams, from lead researchers and data collectors to value chain analysts and trainers in the field, ensuring continuity from policy design to practical execution.
Context: Development partners often struggle to identify sector-specific entry points that truly empower women and marginalized groups.
What Dcode Did:
Dcode conducted a comprehensive gender-sensitive value chain analysis of the palm date sector in Egypt. The work included field research, stakeholder interviews, value chain mapping, and prioritization of sub-sectors. This study not only highlighted gender disparities but also proposed implementable interventions and was followed by targeted awareness-raising campaigns across multiple governorates.
Outcome:
The findings informed both programming and local development strategies, leading to over 2,300 women benefiting from tailored entrepreneurship support.
Context: Policymakers across the MENA region lacked a unified framework to support the growth of creative industries as engines of inclusive growth.
What Dcode Did:
Under the UNIDO Creative Mediterranean Project, Dcode developed a policy paper covering seven countries: Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria. The work included stakeholder interviews with over 100 experts and provided recommendations for national and regional cluster development policies.
Outcome:
The report was adopted as a strategic reference by multiple governments and development partners to guide cultural economy policy design
Context: Technical assistance needs in North Africa often evolve rapidly and require fast, context-specific responses.
What Dcode Did:
As Egypt’s Country Lead under DFID’s North Africa Technical Assistance Facility, Dcode managed the full TA cycle, from needs assessment and stakeholder engagement to ToR development, implementation oversight, and follow-up. Projects addressed national policy, institutional capacity, and sector-specific challenges across Egypt and contributed to cross-country learning in Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria.
Outcome:
Dcode built a track record of delivering agile, responsive development support through a flexible, high-trust model with government counterparts
Context: Ministries and development partners often need practical, implementable strategies for key economic sectors.
What Dcode Did:
Dcode supported the Ministry of Trade and Industry in Egypt by facilitating a consultative industrial strategy planning process. Through participatory training, coaching, and data-driven analysis, Dcode helped MTI create technically grounded sector strategies, especially for food and industrial manufacturing.
Outcome:
MTI adopted improved planning practices, and sector-specific strategies were developed in line with both national goals and market dynamics
Context: Many development programs lack the data and contextual insight needed to address the root causes of informality and employment deficits.
What Dcode Did:
Across several assignments, Dcode conducted market system analyses for sectors like white goods, RMG, furniture, and dairy. The methodology combined stakeholder mapping, qualitative fieldwork, and economic diagnostics to uncover decent work gaps and co-design interventions with lead firms.
Outcome:
Actionable, sector-specific intervention plans were developed to guide programmatic funding and influence national employment strategies
