Yesterday was a good day.
Yesterday was the launch of #CAPMAS’s new website!

To all researchers, policymakers, & development practitioners in #Egypt & the #MENA region, CAPMAS has long been the leading regional institution on official statistics. There was never a problem in data availability per se, but there was a constant challenge of accessibility. It was quite difficult to find a particular dataset if one did not know beforehand in which statistical bulletin (out of hundreds) it is published. And when you do, there’s a second layer of difficulty in getting it in an open source format that is usable for analysis & research. The vast majority of the data was only published in non-searchable PDFs.

This is now no more!

Top features of the new website:
1️⃣ The option to download all statistical bulletins in open Excel & CSV files👩🏻‍💻
2️⃣ The ability to browse the data by topic, period of study, free search keywords🔎
3️⃣ A fully interactive data visualization tool for all CAPMAS timeseries📊
4️⃣The availability of everything in both Arabic & English 🌍

This marks only the first fruit of a comprehensive digital transformation project for CAPMAS that spanned over 4 years & included everything from meticulously mapping all of the agency’s statistics generation processes to designing the new website.

Congratulations to my colleagues at Synerjies International & Strategic Studies, past & present, who contributed to this gargantuan project: Yassmine Lotfi, Nada Nabih, Tia Abdelmalek, Marc Nabil, Hassan Tamer, Malak Ahmed, Sherif Gamal, Ahmed Refaay, Eman El-Hadary (the heart & soul of the project), and of course Khaled El-Sayed (the original driving force of the whole idea to begin with). 🎊🎉 (I’m definitely missing a few people, forgive me)

To the great team at Digital Hub who were the web development & database backbone of this project — you made us all proud! 🌷🙏🏼

And last but definitely not least, & even though they are not on LinkedIn, to the amazing men & women of CAPMAS who worked tirelessly with us with all the heart & support we could ever wish for: Eng. Amany Sobhy, Eng. Rana Salah, Mj. Gen. Yasser Fathy, & the entire IT division — Thank you & congratulations. You give us hope for the future. 🌸♥️

It has been an absolute honor working on this project. It is the pride & joy of #Synerjies & my personal professional path to have contributed to something that would have an everlasting multiplier effect in research & development for Egypt & the region. This is our vision!

I had the privilege of being part of the panel discussion at the Big 5 Construct Egypt event on “Building a Future-Ready Construction Industry: Collaboration and Innovation in Technology Adoption.” Sharing the stage with Mohamed Fawzy Waly, Taher Mohammad and our Moderator Mohamed Salah El-Din Aly was a wonderful experience that intertwined a lot of information together in such short time.

Discussing Digital transformation and BIM and how revolutionizing construction management is just unfolding was very engaging. These methodologies streamline processes, enhance productivity, and improve decision-making, making projects more efficient and cost-effective.

Thank you Karishma Whabi and DMG team for the Opportunity.
