Rabat – The Provincial Human Development Committee (CPDH) of Rehamna (Central Morocco) and NGO “Act4Community,” affiliated within Moroccan phosphate giant OCP Group’s Al Gantour site, signed a two-year partnership agreement to promote youth entrepreneurship on Wednesday.
The MAD 4.8 million ($538,000) partnership agreement aims to support cooperatives, small businesses, and individual entrepreneurs as well as promote entrepreneurial action.
The support is based on “the capacity building of local economic operators and providing assistance to projects with added value and a lasting socio-economic impact.”
Assistance will be provided through the unification of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH) programs and those of the development strategy of local economic systems adopted by Act4Community, as well the programs implemented by public and private institutional actors.
Beneficiaries will take advantage of a “new generation of innovative projects aimed at upgrading local economic systems and increase their competitiveness for better positioning in local, regional, and national markets.”
