Morocco and Germany inked on Tuesday a new cooperation program worth 5.6 million Euros destined to enhance the Kingdom’s water resilience in rural areas. The four-year program will support the actions of hydraulic agencies of Tensift, Sebou, and Ziz-Guir-Rhéris. It seeks to improve the living conditions of rural populations and improve their resilience to climate change. It builds on the achievements made by Moroccan “AGIRE” program launched in 2008 with the support of Germany and Switzerland for better management of water resources in the North African Kingdom. For his part, Swiss ambassador to Morocco Guillaume Scheurer hailed the positive results yielded during the past 12 years through the trilateral cooperation program which sets the example in the management of water resources.
