This cooperation framework represents the reference instrument for planning and monitoring the implementation of UN activities in Morocco, for the achievement of the 2030 Development Agenda.
The Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, and the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Morocco, Nathalie Fustier, signed on Monday in Rabat, the United Nations Cooperation Framework for Sustainable Development (CCSD) 2023-2027.
Developed jointly by the Moroccan government and the United Nations Development System, the CCDD 2023-2027 is the result of consultations conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Office of the Resident Coordinator with ministerial departments and national institutions, civil society, the private sector, academia, social partners and the Kingdom’s technical and financial partners.
This document presents the priorities and strategic interventions of the UN agencies and entities, jointly agreed with the Moroccan government, in support of national policies and initiatives of the above-mentioned partners.
This Cooperation Framework was conceived in a context marked by the desire to rethink the Moroccan development model, particularly in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic and social repercussions.
The four strategic orientations that emerged from it are characterised by alignment with the transformation objectives of the New Development Model, as well as by the imperative to rebuild better, leaving no one behind.
This signing ceremony marks the effective entry into force of the fifth five-year cycle of development cooperation between the Moroccan government and the United Nations system. This step paves the way for the implementation of the Cooperation Framework, through its activities of resource mobilization, implementation of planned programmes, monitoring and evaluation.
