Focus Area 1: Promote job creation and private sector growth Promote job creation and private sector growth This focus area will contribute to reviving job creation through private sector growth, by opening more opportunities for business and leveraging disruptivetechnologies, articulated around 3 objectives : (1) More efficient environment for business and competitiveness; (2) Increase opportunities for private sector growth, with a focus on MSMEs and youth employability; and (3) Improving access to finance. Objective 1: Improve the business regulatory and competition environment Objective 2: Expand growth opportunities of the private sector, with a focus on MSMEs and youth employability The WBG will seek to expand the growth opportunities of MSMEs, develop their capabilities to adopt and adapt disruptive technology to local contexts, open new markets, access key value chains, and contest markets at home, in Africa and Europe. The WBG will focus on creating more opportunities for existing MSMEs and start-ups, leveraging digital infrastructure for platforms, supporting market access (digital procurement, MFD), and enhancing the quality of business development services. Engagements will have special focus on youth and female entrepreneurs. WBG Support The World Bank Group (WBG) will contribute to improve business regulatory and competition environment, so that the wider private sector can compete with incumbents and leverage Maximizing Finance for Development (MFD). A combination of lending, advisory and analytical engagements across the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the World Bank (WB) will seek to facilitate second generation business regulatory reforms, reduce the cost of doing business, support the digitalization of business services, and enable fairer competition with incumbents. It will relaunch the PPP agenda, including through targeted State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) reforms and the financing of their capex. It will pay close attention on strengthening the capacity to implement business reforms, particularly in relation to MFD and disruptive technologies.

Focus Area 2: Transforming Human Capital Focus Area 2: Transforming Human Capital Transforming Morocco s human capital is widely seen as an imperative to accelerate growth and convergence as well as to contribute to social cohesion. The focus area will concentrate on interventions that promote quality and efficiency in the delivery of education and health services, establishment of a robust cutting-edge social protection system along with improving the effectiveness of early childhood development. The CPF will aim to achieve greater inclusion of women, youth and vulnerable. Objective 4: Improve access to quality childhood development services Objective 5: Improve quality and efficiency of education systems The CPF program will aim at supporting enhanced Early Childhood Development outcomes in education, health and nutrition, and aim at laying a stronger foundation for holistic development in the early years and for subsequent human capital acquisition throughout the life cycle. They are also crucial in facilitating the acquisition of socio-emotional skills required by the labor market of tomorrow. This will be achieved through a multi-sectoral approach addressing both supply and demand constraints and focused on reducing the gender and location gaps in early childhood outcomes. The CPF program will support Government s Vision 2015-2030 with a particular focus on improving the efficacy and efficiency of the learning process with a view to impacting the key determinants of learning outcomes. This will include in particular the overhaul of the teacher management policies to ensure that teachers are recruited, allocated and trained in ways that promote the acquisition of basic skills such as literacy and numeracy with a focus on the early grades. The WBG program will also support improvements in the governance of the education system by building the capacity of the regional academics and providing support to school based management mechanisms.

Objective 8: Enhance performance of systems of cities and towns The CPF program will support the government to strengthen urban planning, management, governance and systems of cities. In support of the urbanization process, the WBG engagement will include: (i) linking citizens (including poor, women, and people with limited mobility) to economic opportunities; ii) boosting municipal capacity to deliver urban services and infrastructure with special attention to underserved neighborhoods; iii) improving urban mobility; and (iv) strengthening capacity for mobilizing and managing financing, governance, and public and private investment for urban infrastructure.
