Morocco: IFAD Reinforces Partnership Against Poverty With New Office in Morocco
The Government of the Kingdom of Morocco and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) signed a host country agreement today in Rome.
The opening of a country office in Morocco signifies a milestone in the long-standing cooperation between IFAD and the Moroccan government to work together to reduce poverty in the country’s rural areas.
For example, the objective of the current IFAD-supported programme in Morocco is to help reduce poverty by 30 per cent by 2030 and improve the living conditions of rural populations, especially in mountain areas. It is expected that by opening a country office in Morocco IFAD will also strengthen its role in the donor community and its partnership with civil society.
