Investing in rural people in the Kingdom of Morocco

Since 1979, IFAD has financed 14 rural development projects for a total of US$268.6 million.

IFAD’s country strategic opportunities programme (COSOP) for Morocco outlines IFAD’s strategic objectives, which are to:

• Increase the participation of rural communities in the development process, raise the organizational and managerial capacities of rural people and their grass-roots organizations.
• Promote access, especially by women and young people, to appropriate and sustainable financial services, particularly microfinance services that are tailored to their needs.
• Promote farming as a business through a value chain approach both upstream (production) and downstream (marketing).
