In a recent report, the World Bank shared findings from a Program Evaluation assessment of the development effectiveness of its support to Morocco, between fiscal year (FY11 and FY21, specifically the Bank Group’s contribution in overcoming systemic barriers to Morocco’s development.
The document described how the Bank Group needed to contribute value in significant policy sectors in order to influence policy coherence and shape Morocco’s policy reforms.
“The World Bank had a significant impact on Morocco’s pension reform by strategically circumscribing its support to just-in-time analytics,” said the report.
By implementing new procedures, the Bank Group assisted Morocco in overcoming policy implementation obstacles.
For instance, the World Bank used creative strategies to assist Morocco in modernizing the way its social protection system was implemented.
The Group also used its ability to bring people together and its financial tools to reduce the dangers of introducing innovation into Morocco’s emerging solar energy sector.
To assist the kingdom’s central and municipal governments, the Bank Group provided new financial instruments.
However, the World Bank has had trouble achieving its goal of assisting authorities in bolstering subnational participation in the development of the nation and systems for citizen engagement.
Because the World Bank did not adapt its strategy to the nation’s political developments, its efforts to assist authorities in enhancing citizen participation in the judicial system failed.
The report outlined various takeaways that might be utilized to direct future interactions with Morocco, such as how the Bank Group successfully used data from international benchmarking to spur improvements.
“To start engaging directly at the subnational level in Morocco, the Bank Group has taken new risks and has been willing to experiment with new approaches. The FY19–24 Country Partnership Framework made addressing territorial inequity a priority. Since then, the Bank Group has started experimenting with various ways of engaging sub-nationally,” explained the recent report.
