The Ministry of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research has contributed with 3 million euros to the global initiative “Coronavirus Global Response”.
The campaign seeks to raise the considerable resources needed to accelerate the development of affordable coronavirus vaccination, treatment and testing.
This contribution is in line with the willingness of the Kingdom of Morocco to strengthen its strategic and exemplary cooperation with the European Union, in particular in areas related to scientific research and innovation, as well as to join international efforts to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on populations, mainly at the economic, social and psychological levels, said the Ministry of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research in a press release.
Morocco on Thursday expressed its full support and mobilization for the Coronavirus Global Response, the global action for universal access to affordable coronavirus vaccination, treatment and testing.
“Morocco, under the leadership of his Majesty King Mohamed VI, is fully committed to supporting and encouraging research to contribute to facing the pandemic and overcoming the Coronavirus”, said Delegate Minister for Higher Education and Scientific Research of Morocco Driss Ouaouicha, quoted in a release of the European Commission.
“More than ever before, decision makers today are guided by research findings and recommendations,” he added, noting that “the EU Coronavirus Global Response is praiseworthy; it provides a framework not only for Europeans, but also for other willing participants from Africa and elsewhere to come together, work together, and ultimately bring people’s lives, the world over, back to the next normal.”
Morocco is among the 15 partner countries of the Coronavirus Global Response campaign launched by the European Commission.
On Thursday, the Commission announced the next steps in the Coronavirus Global Response, the global action for universal access to affordable coronavirus vaccination, treatment and testing. The pledging marathon that started on 4 May will now see the launch of a new campaign with the international advocacy organisation Global Citizen, “Global Goal: Unite For Our Future”, that will culminate in a Global Pledging Summit on Saturday 27 June.
Together with Global Citizen, the Commission will step up the mobilisation of funding to enable the world to overcome this pandemic – and avoid another.
