Hasaballah Elkafrawi (حسب الله الكفراوى; 22 November 1930 – 5 August 2021)[1][2] was an Egyptian engineer and politician who served as governor, Minister of Housing, and as a member of parliament.
In 1974, following 1973 War, he was selected to become a Vice-Chairman and Chairman of the Executive Organization for Reconstruction, Suez Canal Zone.
El Kafrawy's initiatives as a minister encouraged the Egyptian presidency to support his attendance in the consecutive 5 cabinets until October 1993.
El Kafrawy was founding chairman of the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) in 1979, tasked with implementing the New Cities program.
Finally, the United Nations Center for Human Settlements announced him the winner of 1992 Habitat Prize for his collective achievements in housing and new communities.
Some analysts attributed his resignation to his increasingly uncomfortable position of supporting the policies of the Cabinet which were denounced by many Egyptians at that time.
