Speaking at the project launch ceremony in Morocco, Mr. Toumi indicated that this ambitious project, which extends over the period 2023-2027, intends to create 1,000 direct jobs and 2,500 indirect jobs, through the support of 200 Moroccan SMEs/SMEs.
Reviewing the context, objectives and approach of the GGJAP, Mr. Toumi indicated that UNDP Morocco is committed, as part of this project, to providing technical and financial support to selected SMEs/SMEs, by helping to develop sustainable business models focused on green growth and job creation for youth.
“The GGJAP also aims to strengthen the capacities of young Moroccan entrepreneurs in the field of green growth, with an emphasis on innovation, sustainability and socio-economic inclusion,” he continued.
Furthermore, Mr. Toumi called for a collective mobilization of all stakeholders concerned to ensure the effective and sustainable implementation of this project, thus contributing to the promotion of a green and inclusive economy in the Kingdom.
For her part, Yassmine Bichichi, Youth delegate of UNDP Morocco, presented an overview of the youth component of GGJAP, entitled “Youth 4 Sustainability”, which aims to connect highly qualified young people with specific needs within accelerated businesses.
“This initiative allows young people to exploit their knowledge, skills and innovative ideas while gaining direct professional experience with, as a bonus, employment opportunities within accelerated companies,” she argued.
Initiated by UNDP, in partnership with the Dano-Arab Partnership Program of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the GGJAP aims to support SMEs/SMEs in accelerating their green growth, while creating green jobs.
It focuses on innovative projects that contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in various areas, such as sustainable agriculture, forestry and fisheries, sustainable industries, waste management, water resources management, alternative energy, green buildings, ecotourism, sustainable transport and storage.
As part of this project, a first call for expressions of interest was launched on January 22 for the benefit of SMEs of all legal forms under Moroccan law.
