The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced $12.6 million funding in support for Morocco’s post-earthquake recovery efforts. “We support Morocco’s response to Al Haouz earthquake, from the initial emergency effort to save lives to the ongoing process of rebuilding livelihoods,” said U.S. Ambassador Puneet Talwar, in a press release issued by the USAID. “The United States is proud to stand in partnership with our oldest friend during this process, supporting critical socio-economic services that align with the Kingdom’s reconstruction plan and help people and communities recover,” added the American diplomat. Since then, the US Agency has worked with its partners across government, civil society, and private sectors to identify and pursue critical interventions that support the advancement of Morocco’s reconstruction plan and promote the Kingdom’s long-term resilience and prosperity.
