Morocco inaugurated a major university dormitory at Mohammed VI University of Health Sciences in Mohammedia on Wednesday, under UAE’s investment provided by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), with a budget of MAD65.4 million.

The project aims to provide students with high-quality accommodations, enabling them to continue their education at Mohammed VI University of Health Sciences in good conditions.

ADFD said this investment project comes in line with the government’s strategy to enhance the higher education sector.

Mohamed Saif Al Suwaidi, Director General of ADFD said in a statement, “This project represents a significant investment in the future growth and development of Moroccan youth by providing the best conditions for them to excel in their academic careers,” he said, adding, “The project is also aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, specifically goal number four focusing on education as one of the most powerful and proven vehicles for sustainable development,” he specified.

The project will accommodate 866 students through the construction of three five-story residential buildings with a capacity of 413 double rooms, 5 triple rooms, 24 rooms for people of determination, 7 supply stores for student essentials, administrative and technical buildings as well as other supporting facilities, according to Emirates News agency.

ADFD is part of the financing of many partnership investment projects with Morocco, mainly the Tangier-Mediterranean port, and Sheikh Zayed Hospital in Rabat. It also invests in many companies in the country, including Maroc Telecom, and Ciments du Maroc.
