Al Qahirah Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights 2018 34p. This report by Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) evaluates, in part, the developmental role played by International Finance Corporation (IFC) in Egypt. It is based on an analysis of every project financed by the IFC since it began operating in Egypt in 1995 through mid-2017. The report additionally includes three case studies selected to offer a deeper look at three dimensions of the relevant issues: first, involvement in tax avoidance; second, the political influence of owners of financed firms; and third, the involvement of the firm or its owner in a corruption case.
