The World Bank Group announced on July 14, 2026, the launch of a new 10-year Country Partnership Framework (CPF) with Morocco, aimed at supporting the kingdom's next phase of growth, accelerating job creation, and fostering a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
The framework, which covers the period from 2026 to 2036, focuses on three key pillars: strengthening human capital, promoting private sector-led growth, and enhancing resilience to climate change. The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors approved the CPF on July 10, 2026.
According to the World Bank, the partnership will prioritize investments in education, health, and social protection to improve human capital outcomes. It will also support reforms to improve the business environment, boost competition, and expand access to finance for small and medium enterprises.
Additionally, the CPF aims to help Morocco adapt to climate change by promoting sustainable water management, renewable energy, and green growth initiatives. The World Bank noted that Morocco has made significant progress in recent years but faces challenges including high unemployment, especially among youth and women.
