Over the past few years, Morocco has made significant strides in accelerating its digital transformation, recognizing it as a key driver for its socio-economic development. The Moroccan government has launched various initiatives aimed at digitizing public services, encouraging the adoption of digital technologies by businesses, and enhancing digital skills among the population.
Today, Morocco is positioning itself as an emerging player in the digital sphere in Africa. The country has already achieved notable progress, particularly with the establishment of the Digital Development Agency (ADD) and the adoption of the National Digital Development Strategy 2020-2025. These initiatives aim to create a favorable digital ecosystem, improve access to online public services, and promote digital inclusion. Morocco aspires to become a regional digital hub and position its economy among the most competitive in Africa by 2030. To achieve this, the country is focused on an inclusive and sustainable digital strategy. Priorities include strengthening digital infrastructure, promoting technological innovation, and integrating new technologies such as artificial intelligence, Big Data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) into key sectors of the economy. Additionally, Morocco is committed to continuing the enhancement of e-government to provide more efficient and transparent public services, as well as supporting the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to make them more competitive on a global scale. This national ambition also relies on strategic partnerships with international actors, collaborations with the private sector, and sustained investment in training and education to prepare future generations for the challenges of the digital age.
In alignment with these ambitions, the BMZ, through the DTC Morocco, partnered with the Moroccan Ministry of Digital Transformation and Administration Reform to deploy the following two projects to address these priorities:
E-GOV: Digital transformation of the Moroccan public administration:
The project is working with the Moroccan government and companies from the digital economy to ensure the digital transformation of the public administration becomes more innovative and focused on citizens’ needs. To this end, it implements the following measures:
- Developing and improving standards and reusable IT building blocks for administrative digitalization, such as electronic signatures. This creates standardized digital services across different public authorities.
- Supporting public administrations in developing skills and new methods to ensure that the needs of citizens are at the center of the digital transformation efforts.
- Mobilizing digital companies and digital talents from the private sector to contribute with their innovative solutions and working methods to the digitalization of the public administration.
DigiTPME: Digitizing micro, small and medium-sized enterprises:
The project is working with the Moroccan government and companies from the digital economy to support the digitalization of MSMEs through a better, coordinated service offer. To do so, the project implements the following measures:
- Supporting the role of public authorities in the digital inclusion of MSMEs by improving its data pool, cooperation and support programs. This enables the public sector to offer harmonized and coordinated support for MSMEs.
- Encouraging service providers, such as IT companies or business associations, to develop new services and software products. These are to be geared towards local needs and in accordance with the digital maturity of MSMEs.
- Raising awareness and supporting MSMEs in optimizing their business processes and models through the digital transformation. MSMEs are supported to train their employees, to make investments in digitalization and thus ensure the future viability of their companies.
