WB Supports Morocco to Increase Access to Healthcare, Boost Green Energy
Washington- The World Bank Board of Executive Directors on Friday approved two projects totaling US$248.95 million to support Morocco’s national health strategy and to promote clean energy and energy efficiency.
In the health sector, the investment will finance increased access to and improved quality of public services for the benefit of poor and rural populations in disadvantaged regions, the Washington-based institution said in a statement.
The investment in the energy sector will support Morocco’s ongoing efforts to reduce its dependency on imported fossil fuels, the same source added.
“Over four years, this US$100 million project will aim specifically to help strengthen primary care across 9 regions to address disparities in health outcomes and improve health system governance by upgrading health management information systems and sector accountability,” said Enis Baris, World Bank Health, Nutrition and Population Practice Manager for the Middle East and North Africa Region.
