New york: This landmark partnership with the UNDP, set to be unveiled at the upcoming 80th United Nations General Assembly in New York, positions Morocco as a digital hub at the intersection of Africa and the Arab world, fostering economic growth and enhancing public services.
According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, El Fallah Seghrouchni addressed the 10th Geopolitical Meetings in Trouville-Sur-Mer, in north-western France, where she emphasized the growing significance of digital transformation for Morocco’s future.
The D4SD initiative seeks to drive economic development and enhance public services, ultimately improving governance and accessibility for citizens across the country.
Morocco’s ambition to become a regional hub is centered around supporting start-ups, advancing offshoring, and nurturing high-potential sectors such as AI, cybersecurity, and e-health. The initiative aims to create over 270,000 jobs by 2030, a target that necessitates a concerted effort to develop local talent.
The Kingdom has
placed a strong focus on youth training, with plans to equip 100,000 young people annually with essential digital skills. This focus on developing digital competencies is part of a broader strategy to sustain Morocco’s growth and position it as a leader in digital transformation within the region.
