The Committee notes that the Government has not furnished new information on the application of the provisions of the Convention since it supplied information concerning the Bedouin population in its 1965 report. Accordingly, the Committee would appreciate receiving information in the next report on the situation of the indigenous and tribal populations in Egypt, specifically on the Bedouins, who are covered by the Convention. Please indicate any special measures taken or envisaged for the protection of the Bedouin population and to promote their social, economic and cultural development and improve their living conditions, including improving their access to education, health care, employment and vocational training. The Committee also requests information on any measures taken or envisaged to create increased employment and occupational opportunities for members of the population concerned. Finally, please communicate a general appreciation of the situation of the Bedouins in the country, indicating their numbers, how many are leading a nomadic life, how many are settled, and any other information relevant to the application of the Convention.
