The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors approved two programs for Morocco on June 11, 2026, totaling $350 million. The first, a $250 million Digital Transformation Acceleration Program, aims to catalyze private investment and improve digital public services. The second, a $100 million Climate Resilience Program, focuses on strengthening water management and agricultural adaptation to climate change.

The digital program will support Morocco's strategy to expand broadband access, enhance cybersecurity, and digitize government services. It is designed to leverage additional private sector funding and create an enabling environment for tech startups.

The climate resilience program targets vulnerable regions, particularly in rural areas, by improving irrigation efficiency, promoting drought-resistant crops, and reinforcing early warning systems. Both initiatives align with Morocco's New Development Model and the World Bank's Country Partnership Framework.
