The International Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO) has announced the admission of Morocco as its ninth member state, making the Kingdom the 3rd African country to join the organization.
The membership will help Morocco strengthen and expand its initiatives to empower women, youth, and entrepreneurs to tap into the potential of the digital economy.
Other DCO members dedicated to the pursuit of digital prosperity include Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Rwanda, and Saudi Arabia.
Morocco has a population of 37 million and a GDP of $114 billion. The country’s membership brings the collective GDP of the OCD to more than $2 trillion, for a population of more than half a billion.
“We are delighted to join the DCO, and our membership builds on Morocco’s significant investment in the development of our local digital infrastructure,” said Ghita Mezzour, Morocco’s Minister Delegate for Digital Transition and Administration Reform.
The Digital Cooperation Organization brings together nations, businesses, civil society, academics, and R&D institutions to promote social prosperity through more inclusive participation and growth across the digital economy.
The DCO was established in 2020 by seven member states, “to drive greater collaboration and cooperation across entrepreneurship, innovation, business growth and employment in a shared digital economy,” says the organization.
