The World Bank Group and Morocco have jointly adopted a new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for 2026-2035, outlining a long-term vision to create more jobs and accelerate economic growth. The framework was announced on July 15, 2026, and focuses on key sectors including human capital, private sector development, and climate resilience.
According to the World Bank, the CPF aims to support Morocco's efforts to reduce unemployment, particularly among youth and women, by promoting investment in education, vocational training, and entrepreneurship. The plan also emphasizes digital transformation and green energy as drivers of sustainable growth.
The framework aligns with Morocco's national development priorities, including the New Development Model, and seeks to enhance the country's competitiveness. Specific financial commitments under the CPF were not disclosed in the initial announcement, but the World Bank stated that it will leverage both lending and advisory services to achieve the goals.
This partnership marks a shift from short-term projects to a strategic, decade-long engagement, reflecting the World Bank's confidence in Morocco's economic potential. The CPF will be reviewed periodically to ensure it remains responsive to evolving challenges and opportunities.
