Morocco Climate Operation / Support to the Nationally-Determined Contribution (NDC)

The development objective of the Climate Operation and Support to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Program-for-Results (PforR) for Morocco is to strengthen the institutional capacity to implement the NDC and enhance climate resilience of targeted vulnerable groups and ecosystems in the program area. The operation focuses on strengthening institutional and policy capacity for mainstreaming climate change into development policies and programs, by improving the policy tools, systems, data management and fiscal and financial institutions, and by strengthening coordination among various sectoral ministries and agencies (environment, agriculture, water, social protection etc.). It also establishes institutional mechanisms to foster an integrated approach to climate and development, including at the territorial level, with a focus on enhancing the resilience of vulnerable groups and ecosystems. This operation complements and reinforces other World Bank (WB) engagements on climate change at the sectoral level (water, agriculture, energy, transport etc.). The PforR is organized around two results areas (RA): RA 1: strengthen policy and institutional capacity in green public finance management, green finance, and climate data; and results area 2: enhance resilience to climate change of vulnerable people and ecosystems.
