An itinerant youth outreach initiative in Morocco, "Parlons Développement" (Let's Talk Development), has engaged more than 40,000 young people since its launch in 2021, according to a World Bank review. The program has held 24 editions across 23 cities, reaching participants both in person and online.
The initiative is organized jointly by the World Bank and local partners, with the aim of bringing development discussions directly to young Moroccans outside the capital. By touring different regions, it seeks to broaden access to information about economic and social development topics.
The World Bank's review highlights the scale of the outreach: over five years, the program has built a cumulative audience of more than 40,000, a figure that reflects both physical events and digital participation. The bank has not released a detailed breakdown of attendance by city or year.
As of September 2026, no further editions have been announced beyond the 24 already held. The initiative remains part of the World Bank's broader engagement with youth in Morocco, though specific future plans have not been made public.
