Cairo Governorate is the most populated of the governorates of Egypt.
Its capital, the city of Cairo, is the national capital of Egypt, and
is part of the Greater Cairo metropolitan area. Because it is
completely urbanized, the governorate is considered a city proper, and
functions as a municipality. However, there are uninhabited desert
areas.Parts of the governorate were separated in April 2008 to form
the Helwan Governorate, only to be reincorporated into the Cairo
Governorate in April 2011.The rate of poverty is more than 60% in this
governorate, but recently some social safety networks have been
provided in the form of financial assistance and job opportunities.
The funding has been coordinated by the country's Ministry of Finance
and with assistance from international organizations.
