Morocco


The Challenge

The most critical challenge facing Morocco, both in terms of development and addressing the root causes of terrorism, is to institute change that impacts the lives of everyday citizens. USAID programs in Morocco are designed to create jobs by taking advantage of the opportunities that have resulted from the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). USAID is working with the Moroccan government and the private sector through grants, contracts, and public-private alliances to promote job creation and investment in agriculture, agribusiness, and rural tourism. USAID is also training and educating an adaptable workforce by providing students with practical business-oriented skills, such as information technology, by improving the quality and relevance of education in FTA-affected rural areas and vulnerable urban areas, and by promoting more effective and transparent democratic institutions.
